Fremantle Long Jetty, Heritage pier at Bathers Beach, Fremantle, Australia

The Long Jetty stretched 1,004 meters into the ocean, featuring jarrah wood construction that allowed six large vessels to dock simultaneously at its peak.

Built in 1873 to replace the inadequate South Jetty, this maritime structure served as the main shipping point during Western Australia's gold rush period.

The jetty site contains numerous artifacts from 1840 to 1920 beneath the water, revealing the maritime trade patterns of early Australian settlers.

The seabed around the pre-1900 section received heritage protection status in 1988 under the Maritime Archaeology Act of 1973.

The structure's remains attract scuba divers who discover vintage glass bottles exposed by ocean storms on the surrounding seabed.
