Description
I originally wanted to get a shot encompassing the front entrance of this building, but rather cumbersome signs and trees did not make that an option. I decided the part of the front that I have captured here is more interesting anyway with the nautical antiques in the frame.
The WA Shipwrecks Museum is recognised as the foremost maritime archaeology museum in the southern hemisphere.
The Museum is housed in an1850s-era Commissariat building and has since been restored to its historic glory. Steeped in history, the galleries house hundreds of relics from ships wrecked along WA’s treacherous coastline, including the original timbers from the Batavia (wrecked in 1629), the de Vlamingh Dish, and also countless artefacts from the Dutch shipwrecks Zuytdorp, Zeewijk and Vergulde Draeck.
