Frommer's Review

This Port Adelaide museum commemorates over 150 years of maritime history. Most of the exhibits are in the 1850s Bond Store, but the museum also incorporates an 1863 lighthouse and three vessels moored alongside Wharf No. 1, a short walk away. The fully rigged replica of the 16m (52-ft.) ketch Active II is very impressive. Allow 1 1/2 hours. Port Adelaide is approximately 30 minutes from the city center by bus.
