The Lighthouse provides a panoramic view of Port Adelaide, Adelaide
and the Mount Lofty Ranges. It first guided shipping at the mouth
of the Port River in 1869 before being moved to South Neptune Island
in 1901. It was retrieved, restored and re-sited as the centre-piece
of Port Adelaide's Civic Square in 1986.
An integral part of the South Australian Maritime Museum is its
floating collection which comprises three vessels: the tug Yelta
the State's last working steam tug, the launch Archie Badenoch built
for military use in the 1940s, and the MV Nelcebee, assembled in
Port Adelaide in 1883, the third oldest vessel in the Lloyd's Register.
