National Maritime Museum

Category: Tourist Attractions 👁 100 views

The significance of maritime transport to Sydney made the establishment of this museum inevitable. Opened in 1991, the museum features thousands of diverse exhibits. Visitors can explore early beach fashion trends, immigration voyages, an intriguing display on how a Sydneysider built the world’s fastest boat in his backyard, as well as insights into life aboard convict ships, understand why surfboards keep getting shorter, or even play high-tech computer games and watch a movie in the museum's theater. Additionally, the outdoor exhibition area at the museum’s wharf is also a highlight. Among the 12 historically significant vessels, the most exciting is the “HMAS Vampire,” a Royal Australian Navy’s last major gunboat that visitors can board.
