Amity, Museum ship in Albany, Australia

The Brig Amity stands as a full-scale replica vessel measuring 75 feet long with two masts, displaying maritime construction from the 1800s.

Built in New Brunswick in 1816, this 148-ton brig transported settlers, convicts, and supplies across Australian waters until its wreck near Vansittart Island in 1845.

The vessel represents early European maritime settlement in Western Australia, carrying 23 convicts, 21 soldiers, and essential supplies to establish King George Sound.

Admission fees range from 2 dollars for children to 12 dollars for families, with guided tours available and special closures during national holidays.

The ship carried domestic animals and agricultural materials during its six-week journey from Sydney, establishing the first European settlement on Australia's west coast.
