Overview

Historic Port Adelaide has a rich seafaring tradition. With a visit to the South Australian Maritime Museum you are transported back in time to witness the "romance" of sea travel. The early settlers suffered difficult conditions on their voyage to Australia and this is their story. The museum is delightfully interactive, enabling you to smell and hear the experience of early sea travel. Board a full-scale copy of a sailing ketch, visit an 1869 lighthouse or see an original steam tug, the "Yelta."
