What’s happening at @sa_maritime_museum

  • Today, we briefly hosted a group of Fringe delegates at the Museum for a small portion of their Port Adelaide Day Out as they explored our unique history and heritage. 🗼 We were lucky enough to also have incredibly talented opera singer 🎤 , @effielarocca join us as well for a special performance as well as the equally talented @fatykhova_e. Have a listen to their astounding voices! 😱
  • A salty love story to kick off your Valentine’s Day: This is photojournalist Pamela Bourne and Sven Eriksson, captain of the Herzogin Cecilie. Pamela was a passenger aboard his ship on a voyage from Port Lincoln to England in 1934. The pair fell in love and were married the very next year. Our senior curator visited the Aland Islands last year to learn about their story and will be bringing it to our temporary exhibition gallery in April. It will tell their story as well as the story of the infamous love triangle between Pamela, Sven and the ship itself! How did you and your valentine meet?
  • Art wall update 🎨🖌🖍 Our littlest visitors have created quite the spectacle with their incredible artwork in our Play School arts and crafts area. These are some of our favourites. 💖
  • Our superstar Play School presenter, Zindzi Okenyo @the.gentlewoman and @heapsgood director Michael Mills after their massive two show day! Thanks to everyone who came along - we hope you had as good a time as we did! 🚤🧸🎈🐻👧🏻
