Overview

1 volume (101 pages : illustrations).

Historical information

Document begins: "The succession of events that may be said to constitute a modest history of the Port of Fremantle have not been without their romantic interludes. Little incidents though they may be, they live in the memory of the oldest pioneers, and are recounted to the later arrival with evident pride. Volumes could be filled with the narratives of our oldest residents, but in this retrospect it is only proposed to touch on the more important points in the story of the growth and progress of the Port."
