Queenscliffe Maritime Museum, Maritime museum in Queenscliff, Australia.
The Queenscliffe Maritime Museum displays extensive collections of navigation equipment, rescue vessels, and maritime artifacts near the entrance of Port Phillip Bay.
Established in 1986, the museum originated from the need to preserve the last remaining lifeboat that served the Queenscliff area for 50 years.
The museum houses a fishermen's waiting shed featuring ship paintings by artist Henry Zanoni, documenting vessels entering Port Phillip Bay from 1895 to 1947.
The museum operates daily from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, except for Christmas Day and Good Friday, with adult admission at 10 dollars.
The grounds contain the buried hull of HMVS Lonsdale torpedo boat and a hydrographic model of the Rip shipping channel between Point Lonsdale and Point Nepean.
