Artist: Greg James and Jon Tarry

Asset Type: Sculpture

Location: Fishermans Harbour, near Cicerellos Shed

Description: Much of Fremantle’s charm is drawn from its aquacultural and maritime heritage. Projecting from Fishermans Harbour, twelve timber columns on the jetty carry the names of the 608 fishermen who pioneered the fishing industry in Fremantle. At either end of the jetty two hard-laboured fishermen are captured in bronze.
