Looking up the companionway to the man at the helm on the boat Torres, Aru Islands Regency, 1908

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Pearling became the largest industry in far north Queensland in the 1890s and had a massive impact on coastal Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It was the only industry ever exempted from the provisions of the White Australia policy because it was the economic pillar supporting the far north with cheap labour from the South Pacific and Asia. Its legacy is a history of mixed populations in the far north that defies the standard historical image of a white Australia. Source: www.qhatlas.com.au/content/pearling

Office buildings at Celebes Trading Company compound, Dobo, Warmar Island, 1908

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    One of the largest fleets operating off the north coast of Australia belonged to James Clarke, a Queenslander (Bain 1982:195-196). Clarke began pearling in the 1870s in Torres Strait but soon gained experience working in Indonesia and West Australian waters. He returned to the Aru Islands pearl grounds in about 1906 and operated his fleet with a mother schooner, keeping outside the three-mile limit of terri-torial waters. At Dobo he formed the Celebes Trading Company, which gave him greater indepen-dence. Previously the pearls of this area had been bought from the local Indonesians by Chinese and Arabs who took them to Makassar, whence they were sent on to Singa-pore and then to London, Paris, and Amsterdam. Now the Nether-lands Indian Government was giving concessions to British firms so that shell could be shipped di-rectly to London.

    An Indonesian bay, now known as Yos Sudarso: ""Yos Sudarso Bay (Indonesian: Teluk Yos Sudarso) also known earlier as Humboldt Bay is a small bay in Indonesia. It is on the north coast of New Guinea, about 50 kilometers west of the border between Indonesia's province of Papua and the country of Papua New Guinea. The Indonesian provincial capital Jayapura is situated on the bay." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yos_Sudarso_Bay
