Distinguished and Famous people from Jervoise Bay
⚓ John Rothwell
Shipbuilder John Rothwell founded Austal, whose operations began at Henderson in 1988. The company developed from a Western Australian commercial-vessel builder into an international enterprise producing ferries and defence vessels. Rothwell remained its chairman for decades before stepping down from that role in 2024. His Jervoise Bay connection is the Henderson shipbuilding base, part of the industrial waterfront that shaped the district’s working life. It links a local boatbuilding enterprise with the much wider business of designing, constructing and supporting vessels for overseas customers.
