Website | EmailTasmania's sea heritage is fittingly displayed in this museum close to the docks. The enthusiasm of the Shiplovers' Society has led to the creation of Tasmania's largest collection of all things nautical. As well as scrimshaw and whaling artefacts there is a large collection of photographs. Larger items include the restored companionway from Joseph Conrad's barque Otago, ship models and figureheads. Allow yourself an hour to enjoy the collection - longer if you have salt in your veins. There is a small gift and bookshop.
