Pearling Lugger John Louis

Sydney Harbour Cruise on a Pearling Lugger

 

Join us for a leisurely two-hour cruise on Sydney Harbour on our beautifully restored pearling lugger John Louis.

John Louis was built in Broome in 1957 using local Western Australian timbers. It was one of the last traditional pearl shelling luggers built. The design of the Broome luggers evolved in response to the local environment, with the shallow draft and broad beam needed for the large tidal movements of the region.
