A genuine relic. The sentences handed out to the convicts carried to Australia impacted me most. 10 years for theft!

The Edwin Fox Museum is an interesting, educational museum that tells the story of a ship that brought convicts to Australia and immigrants to New Zealand. As with a lot of things we found in New Zealand it doesn't promote itself as much as it...More

There is very little to see and not worth the time or money (in my opinion!). You can see the ship from outside the museum without going in.More
