Fantastic museum about the history of shipping around Port Adelaide & Adelaide. Lots of objects & items to examine, stories to read and videos to watch. Also information about RAN and Adelaide's contributions during the wars. Fascinating & highly enjoyable. Recommend a visit.

Loved this museum. There is so much history to absorb and the staff went out of their way to welcome me and explain everything and ensure I had the best experience.

Great display and a lot of history too read

Interesting and informative, enjoyed learning about navigating and working out Flinders' location. Great for kids and adults. There's a ship that you'll see as you enter which you can board and explore. It was interesying to learn about the local dolphind and the cross section of the Dolphin head was fascinating to see. Our entrance ticket was included in a Torrens Island Quarantine Station tour that we'd booked - I'd recommend this too if you get the opportunity.

Nice place to experience the maritime history. Good vibe. Lot of new information to see and know about SA. Loved this museum and its storing of historical data. Did not take a volunteer but experienced it on my own. Took almost 1 hour to complete.
