This museum focuses on the English East Indian Edwin Fox built in 1853, later converted into a barque, and later alterations. Unique in that it is not - nor will be - restored, but preserved in its present condition. The museum relates extensively its long and rich history, but could elaborate more about the convict transportation history.
The Edwin fox is one of the oldest shops in the world you can still visit! The museum consists of a small house with a video about the entire history of the Edwin fox and it’s subsequent transportation to the museum. Although the exhibition is small it is absolutely packed with information and it is designed very neatly. I’d definitely recommend visiting the Edwin fox! The staff is also very friendly!
A must visit especially if you want to learn about your ancestors and how they came to New Zealand. Very interesting and lots of information about the ship that bought many of our ancestors to New Zealand. Interactive, good for kids and very interesting video. Worth spending at least an hour looking through. Staff were very knowledgeable and keen to help. Good variety of merchandise for sale.
Really interesting museum with a preserved 19th-century ship you can walk through. The displays are informative, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. A unique and worthwhile experience — definitely recommend stopping by if you're in Picton!
Shame you cant go inside atm. Maybe putting the gate stopping entry closer to the hull would be better.
