Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour is a commercial marina adjacent to the more recently constructed Challenger Harbour. It provides large sheltered mooring areas, wharf space for vessels up to 60 metres, refuelling facilities and support services to the Fremantle fishing industry. The harbour was built in 1919 when a 300-metre breakwater was constructed to provide an anchorage for fishing vessels and it a very popular, vibrant and must see visitor destination!Get up close and personal with a tribute statue of Bon Scott, AC/DC front man, who grew up in Fremantle. Bon Scott was actually born in Kirriemuir, Scotland, but his family moved to Australia when he was six and to Fremantle when he was ten. In the July 2004 issue of Classic Rock, Scott was rated as number one in a list of the "100 Greatest Frontmen Of All Time"

The Western Australian Maritime Museum Shipwreck Galleries are found at Fishing Boat Harbour.

The displays feature early exploration and shipwrecks along the treacherous Western Australian coastline as early as the 17th Century. The Museum includes: The Entrance Gallery, a Woodblock Floor Gallery, the Batavia Gallery, Duch Wrecks Gallery and the North Gallery and we highly recommend a visit. Kids are engaged in the displays, there's lots to learn and lots to see. Excellent!
