Other Attractions
Battery Point and Barton Cottage are integral to the early
history of the colony of Hobart Town. The Cottage was originally built
for Captain William Wilson, who arrived in Hobart Town with his father
in 1822. He was struck by lightning while in command of the Deveron on
a later voyage from England to Hobart in 1824. He miraculously
survived and went on to become a pioneer of the whaling industry out
of the Port of Hobart as well as going on to establish a brewery next
to the Royal Tennis Courts in Davey Street Hobart.
When Barton Cottage was built, Battery Point was the haunt of whalers,
scoundrels and other villains from many ports of the globe. Having
started life in 1804 as a farm owned by the Reverend Bobby Knopwood,
Battery Point was gradually transformed into a residential area in the
1830's. In 1852 the list of residents included shipwrights, boat
builders, seamen, fishermen, coopers, merchants and mariners. |
