Historical information

During the early 1900s the Circe was owned and sailed by a small syndicate of which F.W. Pead was the leader until about 1908. Other members were G.A. Bower, R.Finlay, R.Hamilton, J.R.McKay, J.Mufing, A.Trebblecock. The Circe was sailed mainly in ocean races under the auspices of the West Australian Yacht Club, Fremantle, of which F.W. Pead was commodore for a period. During the 20s, the Circe was moored at Peppermint Grove and it sank at its moorings there in the early 30s. The last owner was H.Osborne. Allan Pead, son of F.W.Pead, believes that Circe Circle in Dalkeith was named after the yacht.
