Eastern Hill has long drawn its strength from institutions that provided both sustenance and providence, and none was more vital than the public house. Descended from the British and Irish taverns brought by early settlers, the pub was never simply a place to drink. It was a civic cornerstone — offering food and lodging for travellers, light for the streets, a post for letters, and a meeting ground where commerce and camaraderie converged.
The Seafarer’s Arms places that tradition at Woolloomooloo Bay, where sailors, locals, and passers-through would gather at day’s end. Its mermaid emblem serves as a beacon, calling in the weary and the wayward — a promise of respite, sustenance, and the company of kin. More than a watering hole, the Seafarer’s Arms is imagined as a sanctuary of fellowship, laughter, and enduring stories. This tee pays homage to that spirit: the communal life of Eastern Hill, anchored by its most enduring institution.
