    0 Photo Galleries | Updated 2 months ago

    In March 2012, the Museum installed an exhibition The Loss of the Koombana in a small cottage next the Port Hedland Historical Society’s Dalgety House in Port Hedland. The exhibition was developed to commemorate the centenary of Australia’s worst civilian maritime disaster, the loss of the SS Koombana in a cyclone while on a voyage between Port Hedland and Broome. These photos were taken of the exhibition just before it opened.
