Museum of the Great Southern, Brig Amity
The Brig Amity is a must see at the Museum of the Great Southern
You can walk up the gangplank and step back in time aboard Brig Amity to find out what life was like aboard a convict ship in 1826.
As you explore the ship, listen to the story of Amity’s perilous 6 week journey from Sydney to King George Sound to establish the first European settlement on the west coast of Australia.
Discover the sights and sounds below deck that were encountered by those aboard as they headed for unknown lands, sharing space with the ship’s crew, 23 convicts, 21 soldiers and enough domestic animals, food crops and building materials to start the small, remote outpost.
