Maritime Museum Tasmania

I had an absolutely wonderful time at the Maritime Museum Tasmania! 🤩 The exhibits were so engaging and informative, making for a truly fascinating visit. I particularly enjoyed learning about the local maritime history. Highly recommend! ⚓️🗺️

Walked in after lunch @Salamanca markets and spent 3 hours marvelling at a fine collection of old boat parts/relics of a 250 year maritime history from b4 settlement to wooden boatbuilding on the Huon and Derwent rivers and out at Port Arthur. The history goes thru the ages with convict trade, whaling and agriculture products, to modern times with the Hobart bridge diaster of 1975 and a small model of an Incat boat of which a new electric one is just being finished for handover 7 klms up the river.

Full of history and fascinating stories. Staff extremely helpful. Only disappointment was many of the ship models had been removed for an art display.

If you love all things history and maritime then this is a must visit to complete your Hobart vacation. The staff were friendly and helpful and the treasure hunt kept our 4 yr old entertained looking for all the hidden cars, rats, Lego men, penguins etc.
