Harbourmaster`s Cottage MemorialPrint Page

The monument marks the site of the first Harbourmaster`s cottage in Port Elliot and is a tribute to the activities of the Harbour Master and the town as a port.  

From 1851 to 1866 more than 500 vessels used the facilities of the Port Elliot seaport. Unfortunately the wrecking of seven vessels between 1853 and 1864 confirmed Horseshoe Bay's growing reputation as a 'ship-trap', resulting in Victor Harbor replacing Port Elliot as the coastal outlet for the Murray trade.
