A must see place and collection. Nice to exper the size of gallys and ship amongst with lots of artifacts. Staff are so helpful and friendly. Its free but don’t firget to dinate. :)

Lovely exhibit. Its amazing how much care in their restoration efforts they put into all of the displays. The front desk was super helpful and made sure to let me know that admission to the museum was free. You are free to donate to the WA shipwrecks museum and it is not blatant or forced. I enjoyed the hull of a wooden ship and how you can see it from 2 levels.

A very worthwhile visit for a small donation, this museum has some very interesting history and artefacts of shipping. A fabulous book and gift shop. Get there early and snag a carpark out front and then lunch at one of the several restaurants.

The museum is free admission but visitors can donate to the museum. It contains histories about so many ships that got stranded along the WA and Fremantle coastline. Interesting facts and stories, it also has a Batavia shipwreck on display. The museum shop is nice as well.

It's not a terribly big museum, but it houses some pretty big broken pieces of exhibits from various ship wrecks. There are quite a few old cannons as well as small artefacts on display. The anchor that is about 2-storey high is impressive. It's worth visiting if one is in the area. Admission is free.
