MAYFIELD BARGE
1899 – 1945
Originally built as an unpowered barge. Mayfield was registered in 1899 and operated by the Swan Brewery Company. It was operated in conjunction with the paddle steamer Kentish Lass to transport beer from the brewery to the port, returning with sugar, hops and malt.
In 1897 The Swan Brewery christened a Steamer plus Barge to carry up to 100 tons of cargo mostly barrels of beer to Fremantle and bring cut timber on return for steam boilers.
