WEST AUSTRALIANA Fremantle Fishing –
The tradition originates from Mediterranean fishing communities, where it was practiced to ensure a safe and bountiful season.
Fremantle’s Blessing of the Fleet has been celebrated for 70 years, marking the 1948 arrival of Italian migrants from Molfetta and Capo D’Orlando, who brought their fishing traditions and cultural heritage with them.
The event typically takes place in October, coinciding with the start of the rock lobster season.
