The maritime museum is housed in a lovely mid 1800s building at the entrance to the harbour. There are an astounding number of artefacts in this small building : old photos, documents, maritime instruments, clothing, ship models and much more. I was quite amazed by the amount of things here. The volunteer who was there, Brian, was keen to share his knowledge and memories and even got out some books to look up the answers to some questions which I asked. This museum is definitely worth a visit for anyone visiting Dunedin. You need at the very least an hour to take full advantage of your visit here. A gold coin donation serves as the entrance fee.

Iona Church is open from 1.30pm - 4.30pm when cruise ships dock. The Church currently does not run a Service; Services being run at Emmanuel Church. The Church is an easy walk from the Port Chalmers Port, where the larger cruise ships doc. Having arrived on a cruise ship around lunch time (due to fog delays) we decided and so glad we did to simply walk around Port Chalmers...first stop was the amazing Iona Church. Upon entry, I was provided with a double sided A4 piece of paper providing the history of the Church and the site it now sits dating back to the 1800s. The Pipe Organ on level 2 of the Church is something to see. It would have been an amazing experience to be in the Church for a service. There is a small display of historical items within the Church as well. The lovely ladies that opened the Church were very helpful and friendly - happy to provide information about the Church and local sites.
