Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Plaque of the Howard Taylor mosaic in the foyer of the Fremantle Ports building.
In 1964, the Fremantle Port Authority commissioned Howard Taylor for a series of projects for the new administration building.

This mosaic mural describing patterns of water movement was named after the Roman god of rivers and seaports, PORTUNUS. Originally this deity protected doors (portus) but when the meaning of the word changed to harbour, his guardian function also changed to ensuring a safe return to seafarers.

The more commonly know Roman story is the boy who rode the dolphin to guide ships into harbour.
