Such a beautiful event hosted at the Maritime Museum. It was the perfect location to watch the sun set and the city light up at twilight. The jazz ensemble was wonderful! There were clean bathroom facilities as well as a food truck for the event. What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night and experience the city from this perspective.
Very well organized and explained maritime museum. 18$ per adults is worth the experience. Mainly replicas of histocally important ships and stories, as well as artifacts.
It was a very beautiful experience, seeing the history of boats! There are some interesting reads. Unless you like to look.
The real experience is when you get on the huge boat outside. That was really nice, really puts you in the experience (if you got that imagination in you)
Make sure you go throughout the whole boat. I really enjoyed going to the top of the boat
Not a place to miss. The museum, the beloved child of a band of devoted volunteers, takes you back in time to when shipping was queen - and unbelievably dangerous. The stories of the steemers and shipwrecks of Queensland is told, the tale being often sad. There are artefacts, photos, models, and maps that tell us all about the life of Australian ships. Outside, a collection off ships are on display; the story of the frigate HMAS Diamantina is evocative and you you can experience that by exploring the ship from top to bottom.
Great museum, reasonably priced. Good to spend a few hours with the kids.
Seeing Jessica Watson’s boat is really cool as well as the replica of the cabin which you can go and have a look inside.
The Diamantina is great to have a good look around. Kids loved climbing up and down the ladders and exploring inside the boat.
It was very interesting and amazing to walk around a war ship 🚢 I wish there were a tour guide to help explain parts of the ship. it's self, but it was so much fun to go look around …
Load of fun! And a impressive display of maritime history. If you are lucky enough to get Peter T. Scott (yes the author of several maritime books) as a guide he tells great stories to support the numerous displays, items and LifeSize ships 🚢 👍
Excellent maritime museum that is way bigger than it first looked.
