WA Shipwrecks Museum

Free entry to one of Fremantle's most quietly compelling buildings — convict-built Commissariat stores from the Swan River colony era, now housing the reconstructed hull of the *Batavia*, the VOC vessel that became the site of one of history's deadliest mutinies in 1629. The maritime archaeology here has genuine international standing. Go on a weekday; the 10.30am highlights tour is worth timing your visit around.
