The Australian National Maritime Museum is right next to Pyrmont Bridge.
Many interesting ships are moored there, including the replica of Captain Cook’s Endeavour, a Navy Destroyer, a Submarine, also an old three mast Tall Ship, and many more. Looking at these magnificent boats is free but one has to pay to enter the vessels.
The new Duyfken is on a voyage to celebrate the Dutch landing on the northern coast of Australia in 1606, over 150 years before Cook discovered Australia in 1770.
The Maritime Museum has a ‘Welcome Wall’.
People can have the name of the family member who migrated to Australia inscribed.
Here is a good place to stop for the day if one had enough of walking and looking around, or if the weather turned bad. The ferry or a bus would take you back to the
city.
By the way it is nice to go by Monorail all around and look at Darling Harbour from above.
I've never seen the welcome wall. Thanks for that photo! And enjoy your walks :-)
ReplyDeleteTo find the position of a name on the Welcome Wall ( as they are not listed in alphabetical order) you need to access the register in the foyer inside the Maritime Museum, or search on your computer.
