White Landing is a small timber wharf at the north-east end of Berth 2 of North Quay in the Inner Harbour.
It was a popular fishing spot in the 1920s and '30s.[2][3]
Samuel Gough went missing in the harbour in March 1946, he "was a member of a party of five aboard the 22-foot yacht Zinnia which was anchored at White Landing, North Wharf."[4] His body was recovered from under North Wharf four days later; the coroner ruled it an accidental death.[5]
The landing was mentioned in the 1988 FPA Inner Harbour Deepening Project Environmental Report as the extent of the 13 metre dredging.
When the Fremantle Traffic Bridge 1939 is closed for demolition in 2025, a daily ferry will be established for port workers, running from Victoria Quay to White Landing.
