We thought it was a little expensive but the ship has been well built and you can easily see enough without having to use the audio tour.

Really good to see this in place and adds to the things to se and do whilst in Albany. Worth a visit to get the feel of what a hell hole these small ships that traveled the world and took years to complete were like.

We all, old and young enjoyed this. Being able to go below deck was a surprise, and a welcome one. They also have a personalized commentary that you can list to if you like

We stopped at the Brig Amity after a day out at Whaleworld. $10 for a family pass which was pretty reasonable, this includes an audio commentary through handheld speakers that change as you reach certain points around the ship.

Very worthwhile visit to the Brig Amity. Climb aboard and pay the small entry fee and you are given a handset with recorded commentary for a self tour of the ship.

Only $10 for a family and a great audio guide, you can access all parts of the ship and get a sense of what life would have been like for the early settlers. The kids loved it, so did my husband! If you are a Patrick O'Brian fan this is for you! We would have loved it if there was... More

the kids love climbing around on the boat and playing with everything. The handhelp information was good too. Its not something you can spend ages going, but for something short it was a good thing to do.

Great place to visit; some interesting information and it is great you can wander all through the ship and see what life was like for people travelling on them. Still some room for improvements.
