Apart from all things ships the museum also hosts a permanent bottle display and some other paraphernalia.  I was a bit shocked to realize that many of the jars and bottles date back to my childhood days.  It seems just so wrong that my childhood memories are displayed in a museum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No entry fee is charged for a visit; only a donation is collected.\u00a0 Something nice to do on a windy and cold when the weather is not playing along in the Overberg.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
