Note*

From Lorraine Eddy nee Lawrence

The earliest record I could find of James was his baptism at the Fremantle Anglican on February 28, 1856. James next entry into the record books (known far and wide as "Jim" to young and old alike) was as crew aboard the "China" when it sailed out of Fremantle on December 9, 1875. In 1881 he married Alice Sarah Dellar, a housemaid to his sister Elizabeth Sweetman, and in 1883 he sailed aboard the "Arafura" when it left port on February 7th., after the birth of his first child. In each case he was listed as a boatsman. When his son was born in 1884 he joined the Customs with his brother Fred, receiving 80 pounds per annum with a house, which he eventually purchased, but there was no indication of the amount of rental payment. Between February 1887 to 1888 he recieved 100 pounds per annum. After the death of his wife, he left the Customs in 1888, and took up fishing with his brothers Fred and Jack (William John), but Fred actually remained with Customs while they set up the "Davies Bros. Fishing Company" ( see stories below as narrated by his nephew Max Davies).They began the first filleted fish trade in the Colony. Jim passed the raising of his daughters to his mother Mary Ann Davies, nee' Adams who until 1902 lived at 14 Glyde Terrace then moved to Suffolk Street. All the Davies children were literate, having had a well educated father from a gentry background. Both his marriage certificate and his daughter Ethels birth certificate had the "e" left out of Davies rendering the official registration as Davis. This was discovered when his daughter Ethel applied for an aged pension and needed her birth certificate. Ethel and he did not have a good relationship, due to her thorough dislike of her grandmother, because she kept her sister, Ada who had TB bedded on an open verandah all year round. To the young girl this seemed cruel, but it saved other members of the household from catching the disease and in later years it became the treatment of the disease in Sanitoriums, and Ethel held this opinion to her death. Jim was very popular with the rest of the Davies clan, but was a man's man, known to have a wonderfully dry sense of humour. He lived alone all his life until the last 7 years when his granddaughter Gladys and her first husband George moved into his house, believed to be in South Perth, with him. The house was left to his daughter on his death. It was said that he never recovered from the loss of his wife and his other two children, but spent every Sunday with his daughter, being the only day off a week had in those days. His wife Sarah and the two children were buried in the same plot at the Carrington Street, Fremantle Cemetery with his father and mother in the Anglican portion A 959. Their Interment numbers are 1108*B, 1584*B, 2400*B, 4783*B.

******************************************************************

The following stories were narrated by his nephew Maxwell Davies who admired him from childhood.

" Even when I was quite young I called him Jim, never Uncle Jim. He treated me as if I was the same age. I remember one cold morning on the beach before daylight when we were going fishing I remarked how cold it was. 'Get hold of one of these oars, it will soon melt the ice off you!' About 1905 the settlement decided to hold a regatta. Society was rigidly divided even in those days between the gentry and the rough stuff. The 'leading lights' formed a committee, bought a racing yacht and challenged the rest for a side bet and trophy donated by the merchants of the post. The Davies brothers Jim, Fred and Jack were to the fore in accepting the challenge, and a rather heavy yacht was bought called the "Winfreda". Jim was unaminously elected skipper. On the morning of the race,he gave orders that the yacht be fitted with a storm jib and have two reefs in the mainsail. A big roar of protest rose, Jim said the wind was already quite fresh and from the look of the sky a gale was imminent. He offered to stand down from his post as skipper if necessary but 'she' would sail as rigged. A meeting of the crew was held and a vote of confidence in him was made. The two boats lined up on the starting line and were soon sent off. The opposition boat carried a full set of sails as well as many extras and soon took the lead. The "Winfreda" wallowed along behind. The first leg of the race was to the south and Garden Island sheltered the yachts from the freshening westerly winds, the opposition still gaining. The south buoy was opposite Rockingham and this was soon reached by them and they headed northwards. As they proceeded further along the course they lost the protection of Garden Island and the full force of the gale was felt. The crew on their opposition frantically tried to reduce sail but the over-canvassed yacht staggered along for a short time and then capsized and sank. Fortunately the "Winfreda" arrived in time and all hands were pulled out of the sea. They turned back to Fremantle and sought medical help for the half drown sailors. A meeting of the racing committee running the regatta decided that the "Winfreda" did not qualify for the trophy as she had not completed the course. No side bets were paid!"

************************************************************************

"Jim was the first person to find Mr C.Y. O'Connor after he committed suicide. Mr O'Connor rode his horse into the sea at Smelters Jetty (now Robbs Jetty) on South Beach and when the horses head was just above the water, he put the revolver to his head and pulled the trigger. Being on the beach at the time Jim went in to investigate. His cries for help were soon answered and Mr O'Connor and his horse were taken to the beach. When everything quietened down and the people had left the beach Jim returned, he dived down and retrieved the revolver which he kept as a souvenir." ( This happened in October 1902. In 1997 after the death of his grandaughter into whose hands this revolver had passed,via her mother, I made its presence known to her son who duly turned it into the police in Fremantle to pass it on for historical purposes. Jim had told his grandaughter Constance and her husband Alf Lawrence the story and shown them the weapon. Max had coveted it as a young lad.)

**************************************************************************

"A valuable pedigree bull was being loaded at Robbs Jetty when it ran amuck, dived into the water and headed straight out to sea. Jim was on his own in his boat fishing when this happened, so his services were soon enlisted. He lasooed the bulls horns and started pulling to the shore. Jim was rather light and the bull was very strong, so the bull towed the boat towards the open sea. He removed the rope from the bulls horns and decided on other tactics. The boat travelled faster than the bull could swim so Jim rowed the boat ahead, then turned and hit the bull between the horns with the bow. In this way the beast was steered towards the shore, but Jim was only paid 5 pounds for his heroic effort."

************************************************************************** ***

JAMES AND JACK DAVIES

"The Davies Bros. camp was at the north end of Garden Island. The beach here consisted of high cliffs with a narrow stretch of sandy soil leading to an extensive stretch of shell grit. The most impressive building was the deck house of the "Lady Elizabeth", a wooden ship that was wrecked some years before the camp was formed.( This structure remained until all fishing shacks were demolished by the authorities when the Navy took Garden Island over.) How the boys shifted the large structure so far up the beach I never knew. The ship's galley was used as a kitchen and the various shelters were made out of timber and materials from a number of wrecks. A full barrel of rum was once found on the shore - the strictly legal way of disposing of it was taking it to Fremantle to surrender it to the Customs. It would then be sold by auction and after deducting expenses one third of the residue would be paid to the finder. Dad (Fred), Jim and Jack debated the matter heatedly (remember Dad had been with the Customs); Jim and Jack wanted to bottle it off and share it as it looked like being a cold winter but Dad insisted on the legal way. After a lot of trouble they loaded it into one of the boats and carried it off to Fremantle. More trouble was entailed in getting it out of the boat and onto the carriers cart. When Dad went to collect the money he was handed instead a bill for two pounds ten shillings ($3.00); the money the rum realized at auction was shy of this amount of duty, after deducting the various expenses and charges. Jim and Jack made Dad pay this money; thereafter the Davies Bros. maintained that honesty was a virtue that they could not afford when dealing with flotsom and jetsom."

*******************************************************************

"Jack was the only clean shaven man of the clan - you could sell tickets to see him shave. He would clamp hold of his nose with the left hand as if to shield it, while working around his top lip with a cut throat razor. He never married.
While visiting, he once overhead the girl he was courting poking fun about him to Emily. After that he was a confirmed hater of women and would not speak to any of the female sex unless she was a close relation."

************************************************************************

" When the cleaned fish venture was not a success, Jack volunteered to live in the camp on Garden Island and collect shellgrit. The modus operanda was to shovel the mixture of shellgrit and sand into a seive and shake it in the water until the sand was washed out. The cleaned grit was then put in a bag. It was brutal hard work but Jack thrived on it, he was the strongest, standing over six feet tall, but of a rather slim build of the brothers. Jim continued fishing with Johnnie Oga as a hired hand bringing Jack food and ferrying the shellgrit back to Fremantle. Now began the very prosperous time for Jim and Jack. The shellgrit was keenly sought after and a produce merchant contracted to buy as much as they could provide.
Jack was very happy with his lonely life. He dug a well and made a vegetable garden. With unlimited supplies of guano for fertalizer and ample water he soon had a dream garden. Every variety of fish were to be had as well as crabs and crayfish.
A short distance from the camp lived a Norwegian couple, the only other inhabitants on the island. They kept goats and poultry and kept Jack well supplied with eggs and fresh milk.

********************************************************************

" A mystery to me was a man by the name of Gilmore. He was a master pearler from Broome and Sharks Bay. He retired to Fremantle in the early part of the century with pockets full of money. He claimed and was admitted to the Davies Clan as a relative. His first move was to commission Mews the boatbuilder to build him a first class racing yacht which he named "Avalanche". This yacht won many races with Jim at the helm. Did you know that Jim was a first class rifle shot and won many trophies. I heard that he was the best shot in WA at the time."

Note*

From Lorraine Eddy nee Lawrence - Narrated by his nephew Max Davies in 1978.

"Harry was the hairy one of the Davies brothers. He had a handlebar type moustache and whiskers 'long enough to tuck into his socks'. The home he lived in was south of the Davies family group and was shared by his wife Emily and their daughters Fanny, Florrie, Jessie, Edie and Dorothy. There was only one boy in the family (Henry Percy) and he was knicknamed Teeda and he died before he reached the age of twenty. Harry's main source of income was from a carriers business, but he had 'other strings to his bow' in the way of occupations. He sometimes helped his brothers with fishing, and sometimes supplied the Davilak Hotel with firewood, as well as other clients. He also went to the island and helped with the shellgrit when orders were behind. Emily was a smart dresser and she was sometimes criticised by the other Davies women because of it. She was also very house proud and her home was always spotless. The only weakness in Harry's household was racing and he and Emily went every Saturday and lost some at the track. Emily was left a considerable amount of money by a member of her family in 1910, and they bought a big house opposite the Davilak Hotel with a long row of stables at the back. They went into the 'race business' in style and bought some rather good horses. A fellow who was in the training camp of the English boxing champion, Tom Sayers, came into Harry's life some time earlier and gave Harry some good lessons in the noble art. The pupil was of such a strong physique and made such good progress that there was some thought of his taking up the sport professionally, but later the idea was dropped.

About this time a regulation was brought in that all fish had to be taken to the fish market and sold by auction so that the fishery inspectors could "police" the size. The 'foreign' element now stepped in and controlled the sale of the fish in the market. Jim presented his fish for sale, the auctioneers had them placed on moveable tables and sold in order of 'first in first sold'. He just had time to place his fish on the table when two big foreigners came and carried both the table and fish to the back of the market where the fish would be sold at the end of the market and fetch a lower price. Jim protested but was handled roughly and had to submit as he was not a strong man. The next time he took Harry along and when the men turned up and did their stuff, Harry grabbed the nearest one and threw him into the sea, the second man drew a knife and attacked, but 'the hairy one' picked up a piece of jarrah wood and belaboured the attacker until he ran off. This put an end to the fishing industry for the Davies Bros. They had pioneered it since the early years but were now out numbered 50 to 1 by foreigners and had to surrender their industry.

Note*

Excerpt from a series of articles in the Fremantle Times 1919 by J K Hitchcock (courtesy Prof Robert Reese)
"The land between the building we last mentioned and Mr. W.D. Moore's establishment was not built upon. The building in which Mr. Moore first started business in 1862 stood well back from the street, and is now incorporated in the later erections, the first portion of which was built in 1869.
His indoor staff at that time consisted of C. B. Teede and a boy (the latter being your humble servant), whilst a veritable live wire in the person of Tommy Hopkins constituted the outdoor staff. From that small beginning the business has developed into its present proud position in the commercial world.
Tommy Hopkins was also the town campanologist, a functionary who was indispensable in the days when daily papers were non-existent. This was a side-line by which Tommy added considerably to his not too ample weekly stipend. Every lunch hour and evening his stentorian voice and sonorous bell could be heard announcing an auction sale, meeting, or other fixture, his fee being 2s. 6d. a time, which in the absence of competition he subsequently raised to 3s. 6d. At election times the candidate who could command a monopoly of Tommy's services was on the right track to victory. On gala days, too he was in great request as he was in his element when filling the role of master of ceremonies at sports on 'The Green', when climbing the greasy pole, catching the greasy pig, and other pristine forms of amusement were always features of the programme."

The West Australian 10/6/1899 pg 5
DEATH of "TOMMY THE BELLMAN." An old identity and a familiar figure at Fremantle passed away yesterday morning, in the person of Thomas Hopkins, sen. Hopkins, or "Tommy the Bellman," as he was more familiarly known, landed at Fremantle about 45 years ago, and he occupied the position of town crier for upwards of 30 years. He was 73 years of age at the time of his death and was engaged in active work up till within a few weeks ago, when failing health compelled him to resign his position. The cause of death was kidney disease. The deceased, who lived in Howard street, Fremantle, leaves a widow and a large family of grown-up sons and daughters, all of whom are still alive.³

Name Variation

As of 17 February 1835, Henry John Sweetman was also known as Henry John Mould.

Occupation*

He was a Ship's Carpenter.

Note*

SWEETMAN, Bros, of Fremantle.

These three brothers, Benjamin Tolfrey, Henry John and Walter James were the sons of Thomas and Emma, (nee Mould). Benjamin was born 8/7/1857, Henry 1835 and Walter 25/5/1855. Their father was a schoolmaster at Guildford, Chief Clerk in the Convict Department, a publican, a trader and watchmaker, a varied career. For some reason he became disenchanted with the colony and he and his wife departed for South Australia on board the Lochinvar in 1857, never to return.

However, the sons remained here in the West. Firstly, Benjamin married Mary Ann Haynes and they had seven children.

He is listed as a boat builder in Fremantle from 1886 to 1889 and later became a storeman at Shenton & Co.

Henry John married Elizabeth Adams and they were to have twelve children. He also is recorded as having been a boat builder from 1886 to 1889. However, there is a reference that came to light that puts him in the shipwrighting industry a lot earlier than that as follows.

On the 2811011873 the French Barque Emilienne went aground at Fremantle during a severe gale. She went on to the rocks at Arthur's Head and was at the time considered to be a wreck. She lay on the rocks until the cargo was removed and a pump was installed. The vessel was then cleared of the rocks and towed to the South Jetty where she was berthed for inspection. Unfortunately this part of the operation was left too late and she promptly filled with water and sank alongside.

Posing a problem to other vessels trying to berth to unload and load cargo, pumps were again brought on board and Henry John was given the contract to pump her out and remove her from where she lay alongside the jetty.

He states in his contract,
I the undersigned hereby agree to pump out the French Barque Entilienne and place her in the position specified in notice of today, viz, 200 yards south west of the watering jetty, (Fremantle) for the sum of three hundred pounds sterling - amount to be paid in full on completion of contract.
signed, H Sweetinan, shipwright. 12/1/1874."

He carried out his contract and with the help of two of Randell & Knights steamboats the barque was towed to Garden Island where she was cancelled and repaired.
Walter James married Emily Keegan and they had five children, he is only recorded as a boat builder in 1886 and then he became a boat owner.

There are no known craft attributable to these men so it is assumed that they were all employees of the larger shipyards in Fremantle.
It is not known where Benjamin lived but Henry John owned three lots in Fremantle, namely, Lot 473 in High Street, Lot 582 in Fitzgerald Terrace and Lot 827 in Hampton Road.
Walter James lived at Lot 827, Hampton Road in 1883 having bought the block from his brother.

SWEETMAN, Matthew, of Perth.

This man is apparently unrelated to the above as I can find no family connections.
There is just the one reference to his activities and no boats are known to have been built by him.

- Chamberlain's Well: 'Leveque on shore of the ninetymile beach has a well called "Chamberlain's Well" which dad built in the early 1900's. It was still in good repair when Mary Durack Miller saw it in 1965. When Robin Hilland was working with dad, his father had a place along the coast between Broome and Leveque. He, Gus and dad were running Birch de Mir shell and Dugong over to Surabaya and that would be in pearling season. One of the boats would go up the coast to Derby and across to Timor picking up these goods from Islanders and paying for them. They were worth much more in Timor than in Broome and although it wasn't against our law except for the fact of bringing disease back to Australia - Dutch, who controlled Timor or part of it did not allow it unless one of their compatriates had his name in partnership. It did not matter if he never saw the boat partners, etc. name was enough. There is a Well made by Alex Chamberlain at Leveque, which Mary Durack mentions in her book "The Rock Sand", I quote from page 176 "a good stone well on the site made it possible to begin a garden at once". Page 309 "Chamberlain's well" named after son of Fremantle Shipbuilder Camberlain of "Sunnyside" who had helped deliver many luggers and schooners produced in his father's workshops to purchasers in the North West. This well near the charred stumps of Father Nicholas Chapel on Cynet Bay was still in good repair when seen by Mary Durack in the Autumn of 1965 when she had a trip by horse drawn behicle over the route taken by her father following in footsteps of her ancestors when they overlanded cattle in 18? " (ref #68, from Nita Carpenter, 1996)

- ...... 'At the western end of the subdivision of Robb's land, between Healy Road & Recreation Roads, two large sections were bought by Alex Chamberlain and the the Manning family. Alex Chamberlain was one of the group of Fremantle shipwrights whose sheds on Marine Terrace were the hub of the State's boat-building industry. Camberlain had been building boats since 1870 and had got his first large order when the Shark Bay pearling grounds opened up. From his two sheds on the corner of Howard Street & Marine Terrace Chamberlain built over a hundred 12 ton pearling luggers completing up to twenty in a year. The luggers were built with painstaking care and were highly regarded for their speed. On many occaions the newly completed cluggers were raced from Fremantle to Broome and Chamberlain's boats usually headed the fleet, averaging better than 10 knots over the voyage. After one such race Camberlain was delighted to receive a letter from Sir Thomas Lipton, the perennial challenger for the America's Cup, asking him to make a set of sails for the 'Shamrock'. Chamberlain's business expanded quickly and be built a motor launch for the Governor and several sleek racing cruisers on the Swan River including the 'Sulituan' for the manager of the Swan Brewery. By 1900 orders for pearling luggers had fallen off, and after a strike at his yars, Chamberlain lost an order for a three-mastered schooner for South Australia. Rahter than lose further orders he closed the yard and took up the selection at Hamilton Hill. East of Hardey Street, only a few yards from where Sidney Smith had built Robb's farmhouse in 1830, Chamberlain established the "Sunnydale" orchard and built a new home. This property was a show-piece of the district for many years catching the eye of travellers as they emerged from the cutting on Forrest Road into the rural lands of Hamilton Hill ("Cockburn - The Making of a Community" by Michael Berson, 1978, copy/file) [? could this article refer to William Chamberlain?]

3) Pages 192/195: .... Meantime, in Koepang, Hilliard had been joined by his son, Robin and young Alex Chamberlain from Fremantle. On completing his apprenticeship in his father's ship yards, the latter and his brother, George, decided to join the pearling adventurers. Running into strong northerly winds, their lugger "Coolgardie", sailed well to the west to avoid the Abrolhos Islands and on the following day changed course to north-east arriving, as they thought, off Shark Bay. When their skipper, with his quadrant, had worked out their position they leavned that they were about forty miles west of Albany. Keeping about eight miles out to sea, the brothers took turns on the masthead, looking for conspicious marking which might be on their charts. Days after rounding North-West Cape they sighted a green patch on the coast and working their way in saw a post in the middle of a creek, a jetty under construction and huts.
'It turned out to be Port Hedland ...The hotel was one room with a bush shade around it for tying horses under. They had one policeman, but no jail. One man was chained to a log. But he carried that down to the hotel to have a drink'. Twenty two days after leaving Fremantle they sailed into Roebuch Bay and then, having been fully equipped, went pearling down the Eighty Mile Beach. Returning to Broome on business Alex spent his spare time working of Captain Riddell's "Ethel" and agreed to join this crew when the job was finished. At the last moment his brother became ill and he cancelled the agreement, a fortunate circumstance for he would have been killed with the other while men when that vessel was seized by pirates.
Chamberlain's life in those early days was a fortunate one. During 1908 he returned from Koepang for a pearling season with his schooner "Alma", when the fleet was caught in the cycline of that year, the schooner was crecked but the crew was saved. Around them was a scene of havoc with strewn wreckage and dead bodies on all sides. Such a loss could only be recouped quickly by a return trip to Koepang, and this Camberlain did.

- Excerpts from 'Craft & Craftsmen of Australian Fishing' by Garry Kerr (copy S/S/2)
1) Page 231: The need for larger craft was urgent, resulting in an ever increasing number of orders to be placed with Fremantle builders such as Brown, Mews, Chamberlain and Walker.
2) Page 232: The Mews family, which had been identified with boatbuilding at Fremantle since 1830, also became closely involved. At one stage reportedly "specialising in small craft for the Shark Bay Pearling Trade".
3) Page 232: W.A. Chamberlain was born in Fremantle in 1851, and after serving his time with W Jackson, commenced business on his own account in 1870. With the expansion of the pearling trade in the 1880's he received orders for luggers of about 12 tons, and is claimed to have built 110 of this type of vessel at an average cost of 350 to 400 pounds
4) Page 232: Two of Chamberlains sons, Alexander and George, tired of the boatbuilding business, so in the early 90's set sail for Northern waters in one of their luggers, the "Coolgardie". Alex remained in the north for 20 years, eventually owning seven luggers and a mother schooner
