The photographs gives a feel of what things here used to be like. Being an island far away from mainland many things had to be transported over. From the photographs one can see just how huge an effort it was logistically. Sea planes and ships were used to move people, equipment, tin ore, etc. On the island, a rail system was built to move the tin ore to the harbour or the pier.
Also on display are sample specimens of minerals that were collected back in its tin mining days. Specimens of minerals include cassiterite (most of the world’s tin comes from mining this mineral), galena (a widely distributed sulfide minerals), Wolframite (an iron manganese tungstate mineral), zircon (or zirconia, a type of crystal and a mineral grouped under silicate), etc.
