Voyages to Western Australia were long and hazardous and for a long time there was no safe anchorage on the coast. The table below gives details of the ships that arrived in waters off Fremantle from 1829 - 1889.

Note: Challenger and Parmelia actually arrived within sight of the coast earlier than the dates stated but the dates given are their time of arrival in the waters of Cockburn Sound.
