 Welcome to Port Fairy 
Port Fairy History
The bay on which the town is situated was discovered in the late 1820s when a sealer, Captain James Wishart, sought shelter from a fierce southern storm. His relief in finding such a shelter prompted him to name the area Port Fairy, after his small cutter , "The Fairy". Later sealers and whalers from Tasmania fished the southern coast of Victoria on a regular basis, from the early 1830s. John Griffiths, a ship builder and entrepreneur, from Launceston, set up a permanent whaling station in 1835, on what is now known as Griffiths Island, just off the coast.
