Ketch Talk
Experiences
Ketch Talk
Guided exploration of our full-size trading ketch Active II, housed inside the museum. The program explains the significance of the ketch trade, the use of small cargo vessels to transport goods between South Australian ports from the mid-1800s up to the 1980s. Students are prompted to investigate the vessel to consider how the sailors on board these vessels would work, sleep, eat and navigate – experiencing life at sea on dry land!
