Uncover the lives of seafaring pets in this photographic exhibition at Mandurah Museum
About the Event
Cats, dogs, monkeys and birds have been cherished on board ships for as long as people have made sea voyages. In a life from which children and families are usually missing, pets provided an important source of comfort and affection.

Photographer Samuel Hood boarded hundreds of ships between 1900s and 1950s that were moored in Sydney Harbour. He took thousands of photographs of crew members, often featuring their beloved pets. More than just a ship’s mascot, these photographs solemnly express the clear attachment that exists between the animals and crew.

These beautiful historical photographs will be on display at Mandurah Museum through September and October, alongside stunning artwork by RT Kids students, inspired by the exhibition.

Activities for children will be announced soon - watch this space!
