Tasmania – Australia's only island state – reaches into the Great Southern Ocean and takes the full brunt of the Roaring 40's. Its rugged coastline is known to mariners world wide.

The Maritime Museum of Tasmania has captured some of its rich maritime heritage for all time.  The collection began in the 1920's with the Ship Lovers Society, becoming the Maritime Museum in 1973, firstly at St Georges Hall, then Secheron House and finally moving to Constitution Dock in 1999.  Click here to learn more about the Museum's history.

The State Government, the Hobart City Council and the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery provide generous support.  The Museum seeks to work with other organisations whose objectives are similar to its own.

"We are dedicated to displaying and interpreting this collection to the people of Tasmania, especially the young people, as well as visitors to the State." (President of the Maritime Museum)
