Picton - Historic Ship - Edwin Fox Ship & Visitor Centre
Experience one of the Oldest Merchant ship in the World and the last convict ship that took convicts to Australia! Enjoy this historic must visit - just brilliant!
The Oldest Merchant ship in the World!
The Edwin Fox Ship & Visitor Centre is a rare example of our long gone past. It has been a convict ship, an immigrant ship bringing early settlers to New Zealand and a trader. It may have even bought your early fore-bearers to New Zealand or Australia!!, and what stories it has to tell.
Edwin Fox Ship & Visitor Centre in Picton is a must do!
It is very highly rated and offers an ideal all weather activity and it is particularly family friendly. See the interactive displays and amaze yourself at the hardships the early seafarers were subjected to. This is a classic part of New Zealand maritime history right in the heart of Picton.
Please note that there no access to the ship at present. You can get on the gangplank and see into the dock.

Awesome museum
It’s a small but very informative museum, we spend a good hour there. Reading all the knowledge about the boat, hard to imagine what it has been through, and it’s like a window for us to see through what people used to do. Just a bit disappointed we can’t go on the boat anymore but it’s for health and safety reasons and they are looking at rework on the boat so maybe one day we can go on it again. It’s an amazing experience, highly recommended it!

Fascinating Museum
We loved our visit to the Edwin Fox Museum in Picton. The only detractor is that when we booked online, it sounded like we'd be able to access the ship, which wasn't possible anymore to safeguard the ship.

Worth a visit
Whilst small, this museum provided an interesting display of items from the Edwin Fox as well as fascinating narrative storyboards about its life. There is a documentary you can watch which I highly recommend not to mention the chance to walk onboard the boat. Well done to all involved.
