What’s happening at @sa_maritime_museum

  • A wonderful new acquisition thanks to Sonic Health Adelaide. This is a model of the Aedes, the little motor launch that used to ferry passengers to Torrens Island Quarantine Station. It was named after the pesky mosquito that spreads dengue fever.
  • Cheers! It's International Beer Day Beer has long been a staple on board ships. Today we raise a glass (or two) to brews... past and present. The Museum has even helped develop an old style (but utterly delicious) porter with the Wheatsheaf Hotel. Our ' Ship loads' is a robust, brown porter with a deep rich taste gained from the use of black strapped molasses. It's a cracker!
  • Day 3 of work experience! The carnival clowns were malfunctioning so I was forced to step in and do the job
  • Work experience boy Bodhi checking in. Today I was allowed to drive the museum's historic police launch Archie on the Port River. No dolphins but lovely scenery. When the fun ended, I helped with an oil change. Loved it!
