Bluff Maritime Museum

Invercargill City Museums

As is appropriate for a port, the museum has a maritime emphasis, including lighthouses and shipwrecks. Monica II, a retired oyster boat in 'original' condition kindles the imagination as to the working conditions for a oyster fisherman, fully justifying a museum visit. (A prized delicacy, Bluff oysters are harvested from the Foveaux Strait from March to August).
