The Brig "Amity" is an exact replica of the original sailing ship which brought the first convicts and settlers to Albany way back in 1826.

The replica was built in 1975 which now sits about 200m from the original landing site and what is now part of the harbour foreshore.

For a gold coin donation you can clamber below decks to see what conditions may have been like for the unfortunate souls who were transported to Australia during the 19th century.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
