The Whalers Tunnel
by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

In 1837, the Fremantle Whaling Company, which had been established in 1836 and used a little jetty on Bathers Beach, requested that a tunnel be cut from Bathers Beach through Arthur's Head, and under the Round House, to connect with High Street. In return, the company would construct a breakwater to protect ships of up to 150 tons. The cost of the tunnel was met by the Whaling Company, and Reveley directed the works.
