Not sure if it is the same one but we had to use the local ferry boat, more like a local tender service for ships berthed there, from the gangway to the pub. Great going but the return could be alittle scary at times, the bloody helmsman could just not steer a straight course.

John, doubt it is the one you know unless you were working on the pleasure craft, or maybe came up the river from Fremantle in a War Canoe. No big ships in perth little uns either. Cheers John S.

That is right John
Just the Ferries for the touristas cruising up and down the Swan.
Had a couple of beers in that pub and a a couple of lunches. Paid by debit card.
I had something to query on my statement, so I went to the bank yesterday. the young lady at the desk said. "Thats an interesting place, `The Lucky Shag`, I did hear that brothels were legal in parts of Australia."
I said " NO! its just a name of a Pub. I had the wife with me". I dont think she believed me.
Cheers

Maybe John in Oz is referring crossing the harbour in Fremantle to the other side. Depending how far back he is going, beleive the coaling and later the bunkering may have been on the North Side of the harbour ( Fremantle) One of the first pubs in those days would have been the P and O. Further up the street was a pub forget its name ( these pubs are still there)Square bar one side was deck the other stewards the other engine room. The fourth I assume was for normal people. The P and O up until about 2001, the Guild the Deck officers union used to have its union meetings every 4 weeks or so and if at home were obliged to go. The seamans union and the Engineers must have had meetings in other pubs, never did find out. Later some of the unions used the Missions to Seamen ( Flying Angel ) for their meetings. Cheers JS

think i may have put this on site before ....in the 50s and even in the 90s just before coming into fremantle was the hulk of a sailing ship the times i saw it always made me think who was she ....i was told in fremantle that she was now used as a coal hulk ....after much research i discovered she was the samuel plimsol named after the great man himself and saviour to many seaman ......for all in the know ....i did not see or visit the fremantle doctor........but do recall the long haul up home on the older type tramps it gave a good chance to top your pay up off
