HMAS Whyalla and Maritime Museum

HMAS Whyalla and Maritime Museum in Whyalla, South Australia, preserves HMAS Whyalla (J153), the first ship built at the Whyalla Shipyards and a Royal Australian Navy Bathurst-class corvette that served in World War II. Located on Lincoln Highway about two kilometres inland from Spencer Gulf, the landlocked vessel is the centrepiece of a museum documenting Whyalla's shipbuilding, steelworks and maritime history through artefacts, photographs and shipyard memorabilia.

Visitors can explore the HMAS Whyalla corvette mounted on land and the adjacent maritime museum building. The ship is accessed via guided tour, including decks, bridge, engine room, crew quarters and gun positions. The museum displays ship models, photographs, uniforms, navigational instruments and exhibits on the BHP Whyalla Shipyard which built 63 ships. The site is open-air with the ship outdoors and indoor exhibition galleries, located beside the Lincoln Highway near the Whyalla foreshore area.
