C. Y. O'Connor Memorial
Artist: Pietro Giacomo Porcelli
Asset Type: Memorial
Year of Work: 1911
Location: 1 Cliff St, Fremantle WA 6160
Provenance: City of Fremantle
Description: The memorial committee sought designs for a memorial to Charles Yelverton O’Connor, the engineer of Fremantle Harbour, throughout the Commonwealth. Seventeen designs were submitted and were judged by Messrs. Bernard H. Woodward (Director of the WA Museum and Art Gallery), J.W.R. Linton and Joseph Allen (Mayor of East Fremantle and honorary architect on the Memorial Committee).
Pietro Porcelli was given the commission, depicting O’Connor bare-headed, standing with one foot forward and arms folded; his left hand holds scrolled plans for the Harbour, and the right hand rests under his chin as he gazes across the Harbour.
The panels depict the Mundaring Weir, the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme, the Fremantle Harbour and the Parkville (Swan View) tunnel in the hills. Embedded in the front of the monument is a memorial wreath to O’Connor who took his life in 1902.

Description:
This memorial was erected in 1907 to commemorate Major General Sir Hector Archibald McDonald by Fremantle’s Scottish community, despite being unconnected with Fremantle.
A bronze panel with inscriptions replaces the original panel which was made of bronze.
MacDonald joined the British Army at 17 and climbed the ranks rapidly through his own merit. He was a veteran of the Afghan war and both Boer wars and earned distinction at the Battle of Omdurman.
MacDonald took his life following charges of sodomy with Sinhalese teenage boys.
