Dark Things in Dark Places: a Guide for Teachers
The Star of Greece, wrecked off the coast of Port Willunga on 13 July 1888, is one of South Australia’s most infamous shipwrecks. This exhibition showcases oil paintings created by artist Christobel Kelly and relics from the wreck held by The History Trust of South Australia’s Maritime Museum. Take a look at the Teachers Guide booklet and activity sheet to help guide your visit to see our current temporary exhibition, Dark Things in Dark Places.
