7 Dec – 1 Feb

Polly Woodside Open Day

Climb aboard and roam the decks of the historic Polly Woodside, one of Australia’s last surviving 19th-century tall ships. Built in Belfast in 1885, the three-masted cargo vessel carried coal and wheat between England and South America.

Experience the turbulent trials of history at sea and steer your way through blustering tales from the ship’s 17 world voyages, above and below deck.

Explore this mighty ship at your own pace or join one of the guided tours.
