Queensland Maritime Museum, Maritime museum in South Brisbane, Australia
The Queensland Maritime Museum spans two levels of exhibition space, displaying sailing ship models, merchant vessels, and navigation equipment on the Brisbane River bank.
Founded in 1971, the museum occupies the former Pavilion of Promise building from World Expo 88 and the South Brisbane Dry Dock constructed in the 1870s.
More than 150 volunteers between 18 and 91 years old maintain and operate the museum, sharing knowledge about three centuries of Queensland maritime history.
The museum opens daily from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM, featuring the warship HMAS Diamantina, the lugger Penguin, and extensive lighthouse artifacts collections.
The South Brisbane Dry Dock measures 131 meters in length after its 1887 extension, housing the last operational coal-fired steam tug in Queensland.
