A fascinating deep dive into the history behind the Edwin Fox - a historic ship that served many different purposes for over a hundred years. The exhibits are quite detailed and it's surprising that the community collected all this historic info about a ship that had at one point been abandoned.
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!
Loved this museum! Volunteers with an obvious passion for the subject did a fantastic job researching the history of this remarkable vessel and documenting it in the most professional manner.nMultiple history lessons in one building.nSeeing the preserved ship afterwards have me chills.
Rather interesting small museum with details of actual people traveling on the boat.nShame that could not go on the actual boat.
