This vessel was one of many used to bring British emigrants to the Colony of Natal. It met an unfortunate end when it was wrecked on a reef off Durban in 1850, after it was set adrift during a storm. The clock on display was one item that survived and was found undamaged, washed ashore in the barrel it had been packed in for the journey.
Built by the Durban City Council, this site was donated for heritage purposes by George Churton Collins and opened on the 12th of June 1954. It serves to represent Durban's first example of the elite class lifestyle introduced by the Victorian Settlers.
The Old House Museum also features original nineteenth-century oil paintings that depict Durban life and landscape
