The first Blessing of the Fleet was staged in 1956 when the Catholic Parish Priest Father Weatherall suggested to the boat owners and crews that they should follow the old and revered tradition of blessing the boats.

The fishing industry of Ulladulla is as old as time itself, with Aboriginals using the harbour and ocean waters as a source of food. In the early 1900s there were newspaper reports of local fisherman selling their catch at Milton and fishing licences being approved.

Ulladulla harbour has always played an important role in the development of Ulladulla. The Illawarra and South Coast Steam navigational company brought weekly cargo supplies to Ulladulla until the mid 1950s.
