Maritime Museum Phone (03) 6234 1427 Carnegie Building Tasmania’s rich maritime heritage is reflected in the Museum’s collection where historic items, paintings and ships models combine with interesting display panels to unfold a series of fascinating stories. These include the exploits of early explorers, the whaling industry, stories of trading barges and ferries in the everyday life of days now gone, and the central role of sailing ships and steam ships in the export of apples, minerals and timber. Ship building, navigational instruments, shipwrecks, historic dinghies and the proud story of Tasmania’s role in Naval warfare are prominent. Operated almost entirely on a voluntary basis, the Museum is keen to attract new members and donors. Preserving and presenting Tasmania's maritime heritage is a rewarding way to contribute to the community. Open daily 9.00am to 5.00pm |
