Collection in containers

Moving day ANZAC Spirit Tony and Rob and Iris and Jon
Squeezed the museum into 2 containers . Planning in place to move the boxes to Tingira Street to pop up now and again

Maritime Museum values its collection , and with Ports North valued and long standing support the collection has been distilled into two shipping containers. With imagination and further research a number of chapters in the maritime history journey of our contemporary culture in Far North Queensland can be revealed.

Promise of wealth in the pursuit of Pearls and growing  a Cultured Pearl , harvesting natural raw materials and  discovering fields of Gold , luring the early pioneers.

Shipwrecks of which less than 3%  have yet to be  discovered lure divers and the wreck of the Adelaide Steamship Yongala , “Australia’s Titanic” is acclaimed as the best wreck dive today.

The Maritime Museum is the pop up portal at present.
