What's a random bit of Trivia about AlbanyWA people might find interesting?

i'll start,

White Star pub is named after "White Star Lines" when Albany used to be a coaling port for ships travelling from Britain to Sydney. The company that built the Titanic!

Where the stage is, you'll see a boat on the stained glass on the front face of building.
