Jane Currie
Jane Currie arrived 2 June 1829 on Parmelia, the first ship to bring settlers to the colony, with her husband Mark Currie, the first harbour master. He started work in a tent at Perth, but soon moved to the wreck of Marquis of Anglesea. Jane Currie painted in watercolour a panorama of Fremantle south of Arthur Head which includes the wreck where her husband had his office.
