Melbourne Maritime Museum, Maritime museum in South Wharf, Melbourne, Australia
The Melbourne Maritime Museum stands along the Yarra River, featuring exhibits about seafaring history and maritime transportation development in Victoria.
The museum, established in 1978, preserves the heritage of maritime activities through the restored 1885 cargo vessel Polly Woodside and its century-old dry dock.
Educational programs at the museum teach students and visitors about navigation techniques, shipbuilding processes, and the evolution of marine trade routes.
The museum opens on weekends from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and during Victorian school holidays, with extended hours for special maritime events.
The wooden-walled dry dock contains original structures including a pump house and boiler room that managed water for ship repairs during the 19th century.
