CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE It gives me great pleasure to present to you, for my first time as Chairm an, the Australian National M aritime M useum ’s A nnual Report 1 July 2001 to 30 June 2002. It records another year o f lively, diverse activities and exhibitions from this still quite young organisation.

My appointment to head the Council o f the Australian National Maritime M useum came as a significant milestone in the organisation’s development was approaching. As I was meeting the staff for the first time, they were busy preparing a program o f events and exhibitions to celebrate the m useum ’s first decade of being open to the public.

There was much to celebrate. The m useum has established for itself a substantial place in the nation’s cultural life, and a substantial reputation among the maritime museums of the world.

The first decade was one of developm ent and adaptation to a changing environment, as the organisation pursued its goal of being a dynamic cultural resource to promote know ledge and enjoyment of a rich maritime heritage.

Coming at the beginning of a new century and milennium, this anniversary has also been a time to assess and plan for future decades and directions. It’s evident to me that the staff, the capable core of volunteers and my fellow Councillors have the experience, ability and commitment to do that well.

I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to our Council mem ber John Kirby who died in April this year. John was a driving force behind the establishm ent of the new Australian National M aritime Foundation announced on page 7, and we were truly saddened that he was no longer with us for its launch at the museum in May. Helping to chart the m useum 's future and contribute to its m anagement and governance is something I look forward to. My predecessors as Chair o f this museum - Kay Cottee and Peter Doyle, both legendary Australians in their own way, and both great contributors to the nation’s maritime life - have left me solid foundations on which to build.

With the continued support o f the Australian government, the m useum ’s existing sponsors and supporters - including our valued Members organisation - and with increasing involvement from corporate and private patrons, I look forward to reporting even greater achievements at the Australian National Maritime Museum.

Mark Bethwaite, Chairman Australian National Maritime Museum

DIRECTOR'S OVERVIEW

S ta ff w ho h a v e w ork ed here sin ce th e m u seu m o p en ed in N o v e m b e r 1991 celeb rated its 10th b irthday to g eth er

Our first decade The Australian National Maritime Museum turned 10 years old in November 2001. We took this milestone as an opportunity to assess w hat’s been achieved since Prime M inister Bob Hawke launched the museum on 30 November 1991, and where it’s headed. It’s a fair assessment that the m useum’s been running full and bye, as the oldtime sailors used to say, with the wind in its sails and a bone in its teeth.

In a decade when museum attendances worldwide have decreased in the face of stiff competition from an explosion of new attractions and entertainments, Australia’s new National Maritime Museum drew more than 3.5 million visitors to its harbourside site. The attendance curve has generally been travelling upwards. W ith annual visitations sometimes exceeding 400,000 this is already one o f the world’s most-visited maritime museums. But attendances are only one measure of a m useum ’s success.

One of our most notable achievements has been to broaden the vision of maritime museums - and with it, of what it is to be Australians.

Notwithstanding the myth that the the outback is the defining Australian experience, most of us live close to the coast. W hat the museum explores is the way that maritime experiences and themes have shaped - and still influence - our lives and our culture.

We pay special attention to powerful Indigenous spiritual and cultural links to these waterways and lands. They offer all of us a greater understanding of, and connection to, this ancient island continent. We re-examine the great waves of migration that have landed people on our shores, because that’s at the heart of who and what Australians are. And we look at the way water marks our Australian culture through play, sport and adventure - without, of course, ignoring the classic maritime museum fare of explorers, naval and shipping history.

We pay special attention to powerful Indigenous spiritual and cultural links to these waterways and lands. They offer all of us a greater understanding of, and connection to, this ancient island continent.

Communicating this vision, and overcoming preconceptions that a maritime museum appealed only to enthusiasts and sailors, were an early challenge. M useum staff worked hard to develop and market exhibitions, activities and entertainment that appeal to families. Teachers have come to know that the museum provides a high focus on current curricula, and trained

teacher guides to ensure quality class visits.

Domestic and international tourists now realise that there’s much on offer here, too.

We have developed a special talent for finding outstanding exhibitions overseas, bringing them here and often touring them around Australia and New Zealand. Among them was the replica o f the great 17th-century Dutch East Indiaman Batavia from The Netherlands which visited for the Olympic year. Before it there was a Russian submarine, a pod of robotic whales from the Pacific Science Centre in Seattle, USA, evocative artefacts from Henry V III’s warship M ary Rose,and an environmental exhibition Ocean Planet from the Smithsonian Institution in W ashington DC. In this first decade the museum has shown 12 exhibitions from overseas. This was the first major institution in Australia to send an imported exhibition to a regional centre, when Mary Rose visited Warrnambool in 1994. More have followed since then.

In all, the museum has shown more than 80 tem porary exhibitions, on topics as diverse as our maritime heritage. They have included paintings by waterside workers, a Japanese midget submarine that attacked Sydney in World War II, beautiful China Trade artworks from the Pearl

River Delta ports, and a superb collection of bark paintings (subsequently acquired by the museum) that spells out the sea rights claimed by the Yolngu people of north-east Arnhem Land. One of our biggest exhibitions, Tears, Fears and Cheers Migration to Australia 1788-1998, won the prestigious National Multicultural Marketing Award in 1999 in competition with many large national corporations.

Along with exhibitions we have developed a huge variety of programs that expose A ustralia’s maritime past and present to new and wider audiences. These have included theatre, festivals, seminars, lectures, domestic and overseas tours, workshops, demonstrations, classes, food and musical events, a variety of activities afloat, and publications. Our Classic & Wooden Boat Festivals, to take just one example, have become popular family weekends that celebrate heritage in the broadest sense.

Developments in the m useum ’s first decade have changed its face and expanded the services offered - none more so than the new W harf 7 Maritime Heritage Centre which created a greater maritime heritage precinct in the heart of this harbourside city. But what is certain is that the coming decades will be just as dynamic and visionary as the first, building on this maritime museum’s standing among the w orld’s finest.

N REVIEW

DIRECTOR'S OVERVIEW

T h e 10,000th nam e w as engraved on T h e W elco m e W all, o u r trib u te to m igrants.

Best of the birthday year The exhibitions and festivals that filled our busy year are detailed one by one, starting on page 12.

Several of them were grouped over the spring and summer to mark the m useum ’s 10th anniversary.

This began with the inaugural Food at Sea Festival Eating & Drinking with Sailors 16002000, using something everyone shares an interest in - dining! - to explore different facets of maritime history. This multifaceted, month-long program included cooking demonstrations in a recreated galley by guest sea-cooks ranging from submariners to celebrity sailors; lectures and tastings; theatre for children and adults; and an exhibition on food preservation. We hope to make it a recurring attraction.

Opening VASA 1628 - Strange fate o f a K in g ’s warship, from one of Europe’s most popular tourist attractions, was a specially proud achievement. We worked for three years with Stockholm ’s Vasa Museum to create a travelling exhibition about this enormously significant shipwreck recovery and preservation. Many of its artefacts and magnificent wooden sculptures were leaving Sweden for the first time. It then toured to other venues in Australia.

In the summer we unveiled a huge new exhibition that explores Australia's well-known passion for aquatic pursuits. Watermarks - adventure, sport & play is big, bright and boisterous. It’s the

largest exhibition project the museum has undertaken since its opening, occupying the 34metre high ANZ Tall Gallery previously dominated by the America's Cup winning yacht Australia II. In its place are watercraft o f all kinds, from the beautiful to the unexpected, and a myriad o f Australian stories. One being revealed for the first time was the incredible adventure of Oskar

Speck who paddled a kayak from Germany to Australia over seven years in the 1930s, based on his papers, photographs and film footage which were bequeathed to the museum. The story stimulated an avalanche of interest from Australian and international media.

Associated with W atermarks’ opening was our most ambitious sum mer family attraction so far, a combination of exhibition and activities called PLAY: kids + w ater = fun, developed with the input of a Kids Advisory Group from a local primary school. We marked the bicentenary of

Flinders’ 1801-03 circumnavigation of Australia with Oceans A part - The story o f A nn & Matthew Flinders. And we were pleased, too, to be able to m ount a full-size reproduction of the Sydney W harfies Mural in the W harf 7 public foyer. The fragile original of this important record of waterfront labour history, painted on a wall at union headquarters in the 1950s, was donated by the Maritime Union of Australia.

It was a notable year in the development of Indigenous themes at the museum. We created our first permanent position of Indigenous curator and liaison officer, to advise the museum on collecting, interpreting and educating in this area, and to work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. In a collaboration with Elcho Island Arts & Craft Centre and Bandingan Aboriginal Arts & Craft we displayed a breathtaking collection of 60 sacred ceremonial sculptures from Elcho Island, the Banumhirr M orning Star Poles. A nd we mounted a display of HSC Aboriginal Studies students’ major works, a creative array of artworks and research projects relating to Aboriginal people and communities.

Section 2 of this A nnual Report records more of the events of the year, and the m useum ’s achievements in its 10th year o f operations in the areas of collecting, collections management, education and commercial activities.

Australian National Maritime Foundation In May 2002 the Australian National Maritime Foundation was launched to support development of the National Maritime Collection. The foundation reflects our determination to put more resources into the collection. We want to build up a fund so that we can compete more effectively to acquire those heritage items that all too often disappear from the auction rooms into private hands or even leave the country. The foundation’s objectives are to: •

•

•

create a capital fund through gifts, bequests and fund-raising activities to develop the historical collection receive gifts and bequests for specific activities relating to the museum and its collection support the museum and its collection generally.

Supporters of the foundation can make donations at any one o f seven levels ranging upwards from $1,000, or can make bequests to the museum.

Or they can encourage others to support the museum in this way. Benefits include deductibility for income tax purposes, and public acknowledgement of their support.

Foundation Chairman is M r Bill Cutbush, a company director and enthusiastic supporter of the museum. At the foundation launch he said ‘Our strategy is not just to raise record amounts in next to no time. We want to seek out people in the community who have interests similar to the

museum, who may like to get to know the museum and its work and help it in the longer term to reach its collecting objectives. We want potential donors and benefactors to enjoy a developing relationship with this m useum ... a relationship built on common interests, confidence and trust.’

Outreach Reaching out beyond our locality and right around Australia is, of course, essential for a national institution. Foremost among the museum’s outreach programs is the maritime heritage grants scheme called MMAPSS (the Maritime Museums of Australia Project Support Scheme), administered by us and jointly funded by the museum and the Commonwealth Government’s Distributed National Collection Program. The grants are for restoration, conservation, collection management and exhibition development. This year’s record 16 grants totalling $35,055 bring to 78 the total of projects supported across all Australian states and most o f its territories since the schem e’s inception in 1995. They appear in Appendix 12.

The museum funds an internship program which allows staff or volunteers from other small organisations to work with our staff, paying for living expenses while they are with us. This year’s internship was awarded to the Broome Historical Society, whose curator worked in our registration section studying collections management practice.

Travelling exhibitions and publications are another way in which we reach the nation. Our travelling Centenary of Federation exhibition Smugglers Customs & Contraband 1901-2001 continues to tour to venues around the country. Our widelydistributed quarterly journal Signals keeps institutions, individuals and Members around the country abreast of our activities, while our retail outlet The Store is developing distribution networks to ensure that our various publications (Appendix 4) reach wider audiences.

Staff responded in person to more than 5,000 research and related enquiries this year, while the growing number of research resources on the museum website assist many more.

Our museum professionals offer their expertise to many organisations and individuals. Staff responded in person to more than 5,000 research and other related enquiries this year, while the growing number of research resources on the museum website assist many more.

the Lord Howe Island Historical Society on the concept development for its new maritime history gallery, with its themes of coastal shipping and flying boats. And we provide material assistance to organisations such as Sydney Heritage Fleet and the HM Bark Endeavour Foundation.

The m useum ’s two highly-qualified and experienced underwater archaeologists returned to the USA for a third season searching for the remains of James C ook’s Endeavour believed sunk in Newport, Rhode Island in 1778. They were advising and assisting the Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project. This exciting project has been supported by the Commonwealth Government and corporate sponsors, and generates great public and media interest. A more detailed report appears in Section 2 on Page 26.

Organisation developments The museum completed an organisational review which had been commissioned to ensure that we had the best possible staffing structure in place to take the museum into its second decade, and to support the priorities that I would like to emphasise during my term as director. These, broadly, are to enhance the quality and status of the collection, to raise the museum’s standing

and recognition as a national institution, and to emphasise the quality of its intellectual products, in part by achieving a higher publishing profile.

The management consultants reported that our three-branch structure was largely an effective one, and I have put in place some changes to help effect our goals.

Creation of the new Australian National Maritime Foundation to support the collection has been noted above. The Vaughan Evans Library, which has been a valuable research resource both for staff and the public since the m useum ’s inception, has been shifted from the Corporate Services branch into the Collections and Exhibitions branch. This in part reflects the importance of its growing collection of monographs and serials, which include rare and valuable works.

The section of the National Maritime Collection that presents the museum with one o f its greatest challenges in future years, in terms of management and resources, is the fleet of historic vessels on the water. Recognising that this type of heritage item poses unique problems that are not encountered by most other kinds of collections, the museum is reviewing its fleet operations and priorities. The section that takes care o f the vessels has been relocated into the executive arm while the review continues, where it reports through the office o f the secretariat.

DIRECTOR'S OVERVIEW

Reflecting the importance of temporary exhibitions, the USA Gallery and Indigenous affairs to the m useum ’s goals and strategies, these have been grouped in a special projects unit in the curatorial section of the Collections and Exhibitions branch.

The positions of manager o f both temporary exhibitions and the USA Gallery have been upgraded. The creation o f a permanent position of Indigenous curator and liaison officer has been noted above.

The museum ’s public affairs section in the Commercial and Visitor Services branch was both a public relations unit and the coordinator of most museum publications including its website, many o f which had their origins as promotional tools. In order to achieve a higher profile for both functions, they have been separated. Publishing remains within the Commercial and Visitor Services branch, while the new external relations unit reports directly to me. The staff position of sponsorship manager, which reports to the assistant director.

Commercial and Visitor Services, was abolished and new strategies to address relations with the corporate sector, including outsourcing, are being examined.

Outlook The financial year ahead will see substantial attractions in place, to help ensure healthy attendances and revenue. We will bring Ernest Shackleton’s famous vessel James Caird from England for our summer exhibition Antarctic Heroes, together with what we believe will be Australia’s largest display of Antarctic exploration to date. Saltwater - Yirrkala bark paintings o f Sea Country will display all 80 works o f the museum’s most important collection of sacred Aboriginal art. The USA G allery’s Posters & Propaganda will examine this popular medium ’s uses, from World War I to the war on terrorism.

W e’ll explore the menace, myth and majesty of the sea’s most feared predators in Shark - Predator and Prey - a must for Australian audiences.

Our latest international import will be the Portuguese maritime exhibition Siglas Poverias Signs o f fisherm en, which we will tour to other museums as well. Education staff will build on the success o f entertaining and educational museum theatrical performances with Bounty Recruits and The M apm aker’s Brother. For children there will be an interactive program and exhibition of children’s book illustrations, Oceans o f Stories.

DIRECTOR'S OVERVIEW

Staff hope to install the w orld’s fastest watercraft, the jet-pow ered Spirit o f Australia, as a centrepiece in the museum, and will undertake the first docking of the submarine HMAS Onslow.

Over a longer time frame, we are confident that we will be able to determine if one of the shipwrecks being explored by the m useum ’s maritime archaeologists in annual dive seasons in the USA is James C ook’s Endeavour. This will have major im plications for the m useum ’s profile.

system is unable to deliver services now considered essential, including integration of photographic and other records and on-line access. This too has substantial budgeting and planning implications but will enhance access to collection data both by staff and external researchers.

Mary-Louise Williams, Director Australian National Maritime Museum

Longer-term planning for our building needs in the future will continue as we develop our site master plan which aims to improve site usage and improve links between the museum and the W harf 7 Maritime Heritage Centre. The first component is a substantial redesign of the vessel display basin, to address wash problems which threaten the historic vessels moored there. These will be major capital works with very substantial implications for budgeting and strategic planning.

Staff are investigating and evaluating options for a new collection information management system (CIMS). At the time the museum was being developed it embraced computerised CIMS ahead of many longer-established organisations. The pace of information technology growth in the period has meant that the existing

VASA 1628 Strange fate of a King’s warship

One of the longest borders in the world was created when the Comm onwealth o f A ustralia was formed in 1901. Record drug busts, wildlife seizures and people sm ugglers have hit the headlines recently, highlighting the challenge of controlling who and what crosses this vast coastal frontier.

This exhibition, with objects and replicas from the outstanding Vasa Museum, Stockholm, tells of the tragic sinking of this royal warship, the pride of the Swedish fleet, in 1628. The magnificent Vasa, raised and reassembled in a spectacular feat of maritime archeology, is a treasure trove of art and information. The exhibition was created by ANMM in collaboration with Vasa Museum.

Not just an unsurpassed record of the anatomy o f fish, but vibrant artworks in their own right.

Over ten years our collection of objects has grown to show the diverse maritime stories of Australians and Australia’s relationship with its inland waterways and the sea. These portraits of people and ships were selected to represent exploration, commerce, immigration, leisure, Aboriginal culture and US connections.

SERVICE PROGRAM SUMMARY Customer service Custom er service was enhanced by providing outstanding attractions detailed elsewhere; by capital works to improve visitor amenity and staff productivity; by enhancing revenue, minimising expenses and financial management; by human resource management; and by im provements to staff productivity through communications and information infrastructure.

Performance indicators include revenue and visitor numbers, along with a global indicator ‘Interactions’ (table over page). This is a single outcome against expenditure which goes beyond the traditional gate count to tally additional ways in which the museum delivers services. The m useum ’s Custom er Service Charter is at Appendix 21.

Visitor profile In the previous financial year the m useum ’s visitation levels benefited greatly from the 2000 Sydney Olympics, as shown in the table of visitor figures over the page. This year visitation slightly exceeded targets, and closely followed last year’s patterns corrected for the Olympic period. During the year 43% of visitors came from the Sydney metropolitan area; 13% were from NSW regional and country areas; 11% came from other states, led by Victoria and Queensland. Visitors from overseas constituted 32%. O ur top overseas markets were the UK, USA, New Zealand, Japan and Germany.

Australian Bureau of Statistics indicates a 6% drop in overseas visitors to Australia since Septem ber 2001, with the US market plunging by 14%. US visitors to the museum certainly dropped in this period, but UK numbers increased while New Zealand and Japanese visitor numbers remained steady.

Focus on visitors The m useum ’s front line of contact with visitors is the custom er service section which administers front-of-house and security staff. Through the assistance of the volunteers program, a meet-and-

greet position has been created to offer visitors extended customer service. Thirty volunteers have been trained to undertake this position. We increased the intake of work experience students to assist the demanding front-of-house area.

Information sessions that brief the front-of-house and security staff on the content o f new exhibitions ensure that visitor enquiries can be satisfied effectively.

Disability information sessions with the Australian Quadriplegic A ssociation have now been incorporated into the customer services awareness program. OH&S and emergency awareness procedures have been augmented.

These include increased first aid awareness, with additional in-house first-aid briefing sessions and first aid carry packs for responsive treatment.

New security administration systems have been created and implemented, and electronic reporting has been introduced. The section manager has been appointed chairman o f the ANMM C ustom er Service Task Force, and an assistant customer service manager position was created.

Capital works Completing installation of the exhibition Watermarks - adventure, sport, play in the ANZ Tall Gallery was the largest capital work for the year. It involved structural modifications to the visitor circulation structure and the engineering o f substantial structures to support vessels on display. A repair system for the main building’s steel roofing panels was trialled, as water penetration has become an issue. Panels were lifted and a new sealing system was installed.

After a trial period this system, if effective, will be applied to the entire roof. Upgrading of the W harf 7 environmental control system was a priority, with installation o f effective humidity controls and more directed air volume control in collection storage and working spaces. This major work was carefully staged to minimise disruption to working staff but had some impacts including construction noise, a period of reduced access to collection items and a down period for the conservation laboratory.

was the m useum ’s second award from the Meetings Industry Association, reflecting the staff’s success at marketing our facilities as venues for conferences, sem inars and functions, to government, corporate and private clients. This commercial activity provides an important revenue stream for the m useum and has a positive im pact on its profile among clients. The museum works with the aw ard-winning caterer The Mode Group, operator of our harbourside Yots Cafe which this year received a very good review in Good Living published by The Sydney M orning Herald.

The Store Operations at the m useum ’s maritime gift and book store have expanded from its previous role as a retail outlet to include product development and a wholesale operation. The range of museum-branded and exhibition-related merchandise has been increased, while the wholesaling arm is creating a distribution network that will better serve the m useum ’s travelling exhibitions and provide a nationwide network for marketing the m useum ’s products and publications. The position of assistant manager was created to support the The Store’s expanding operations. A shutter system was installed to isolate The Store from the galleries to allow for extended trading periods after the museum doors shut, particularly during summer.

In the ANZ Theatre, used for film screenings as well as lectures and conferences for both museum programs and venue hirers, the old projection system was replaced by Sony VPL F E 1 1 technology. A Sony VPL FX50 projection system was installed in the theatrette. IT enhancements included recabling the museum, replacing file servers and upgrading the file server operating system and firew all system. The Internet service, proxy cache, anti-virus and tape backup software were also upgraded.

Records management, part o f the responsibilities of the communications and information section, classified and indexed 500 ship plans, created 1,151 files and expedited 7.924 file movements.

Human resource management The museum worked with an occupational health and safety (OHS) consultant to undertake a range o f initiatives. Development and implementation of policies and procedures continued. Staff attended training in general OHS awareness, OHS induction procedures for new staff and contractors, workplace inspections and accident investigations, and confined spaces issues. A third round of certified agreement negotiations commenced. An organisation and staffing review o f the museum was completed and many of the recommendations implemented.

PROGRAMS AND PRODUCTS PROGRAM SUMMARY Innovative maritime heritage programs The year’s achievements in the areas o f new exhibitions, festivals and visiting vessels appear in detail on pages 12-17, with further commentaries in the D irector’s Overview.

Planning ahead for temporary and visiting exhibitions and other attractions is a demanding, long-term process. The museum put into place an enhanced evaluation program for exhibitions and events (see page 37). The Collections & Exhibitions branch worked with other sectors of the museum to im prove the ways in which it generates and reviews ideas for new exhibitions and events, to provide a more strategic approach to fulfilling the m useum ’s needs and to mesh more closely with landmark activities external to the organisation.

A ppendix 1 provides details of the very diverse range of programs and products through which the museum comm unicates aspects of our maritime heritage, including lectures, tours, activities afloat, and many more. A number of museum events are collaborations with external organisations and individuals, which add further

Education and children’s programs High demand for schools programs resulted in record numbers of visits by students and teachers. They included 42 sessions of the Year 12 chem istry workshop Shipwrecks & Salvage.

The innovative gallery theatre program The Prospectors, which accompanied the exhibition Gold Rush! The Australian experience, was booked out by visiting school groups for three terms. The tables on pages 28-29 indicate the variety of program s on offer, and the responses to them. Forty-one percent of visiting schools took a tour led by trained teacher guides (up from 33% in 2000-2001), 26% participated in a workshop (up from 8.5%), and 48% o f schools booked a vessel visit. Numbers were up, too, in the vacation care program.

As part of the celebrations for the m useum ’s 10th birthday the education section offered a scholarship for a student aged 16-19 to make a sail-training voyage on the RAN brigantine Young Endeavour.

MARITIME HERITAGE PROGRAM SUMMARY

Fleet section

Acquisitions

Docking, m aintenance and display of the m useum ’s fleet of historical vessels in the water was the major focus for the engineers, shipwrights and ship keepers of the fleet section this year. The work, programmed to ensure maximum exposure for the fleet at our Darling Harbour wharves, saw nine vessels slipped.

M aintenance activities were also carried out afloat. Fleet staff led M embers tours o f the below-decks areas of the m useum 's destroyer Vampire. They also ensured that the early-20thcentury Victorian ’couta fishing boat Thistle flew the flag for the museum when they sailed her in both the Balm ain Regatta and the Gaffers Day Regatta on Sydney Harbour.

A priceless assemblage of Australian boatbuilding heritage known as the Lars & Harold H alvorsen Collection was donated to the m useum by Harvey Halvorsen, the son and grandson of these designer-shipw rights, at a function that included a sail-past of classic H alvorsen m otor yachts courtesy of the H alvorsen Owners Club. The Norwegian family of boatbuilders, which m igrated to Australia in 1924, built some 1,200 vessels here. Best-known were their beautifully-proportioned timber cabin cruisers and luxurious motor yachts now owned by celebrities, media stars and a form er Prime Minister. They built A ustralia’s first A m erica’s Cup challenger Gretel (1962) and designed and built noted Sydney-H obart winners such as Freya, Saga, Peer G ynt and Solveig. Over 230 H alvorsen work boats served A ustralian, US and D utch forces in the Pacific theatre of World War II. Arm ed H alvorsen cruisers hunted and sunk a Japanese midget submarine attacking Sydney H arbour 50 years ago. The collection is a lasting record of this w ork in the form o f meticulously kept boat plans and photographs, along with other records and boatbuilding tools. The donor, Harvey Halvorsen, is a boatbuilder continuing the family traditions.

A collection of shipping mem orabilia from the Howard Smith shipping company was another significant donation to the collection during the year. It included a bridge telescope from SS Edina, an engraved ship's bell in a stand, an oil painting of SS Bombala, a blueprint o f TSS M ourilyan, prints, photographs, certificates, company ephemera and memorabilia. The material relates to an existing collection of H oward Smith ship models, paintings, photographs, and memorabilia acquired earlier.

Appendix 2 is a selection of purchases for the collection this year, and Appendix 3 fully details donations to the collection.

A milestone for the period was the return to display o f the Broome pearling lugger John Louis following the most extensive program of conservation w ork carried out on any of the m useum ’s fleet to date. John Louis represents both tradition and change in the Western A ustralian pearl fishery. The section worked closely with the Australian War M emorial, which owns the W orld War II comm ando raider Krait displayed at our wharves, to undertake some planking repairs during the vessel’s slipping.

K rait at our wharves was again the location for a commemorative service on Remembrance Day, 11 November, for members and fam ilies of the Z Special Units Association.

Continuing the m useum ’s commitment to provide training in traditional and specialised boat building and repair skills, Immanuel Ariel was engaged as a shipwright apprentice. He is the eighth young person (all males to date) to undertake part or all of an apprenticeship at the museum. The museum works with an accredited training provider, the Hunter Valley Training Company, and provides the apprentice’s wage while the company provides administrative, liaison and support services for the apprentices.

MARITIME HERITAGE Conservation A major project for the m useum ’s conservation section this year was the assessm ent and treatm ent of the 80 bark paintings o f the Saltwater collection from Yirrkala in north­ eastern Arnhem Land, to prepare them for display at the museum in August 2002. This will be the first time that the entire collection, which documents the land and sea rights claims of Yolngu people, has been displayed at the museum. The collection was purchased in 2000 with the assistance o f Stephen Grant and Bridget Pirrie, GrantPirrie Gallery.

Bark painting is limited geographically to wooded Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory and part of the Kimberley Region o f Western Australia. The paintings on stringybark, in pigments of black, white and red to yellow ochres, are part of the artist’s natural environment. As such they are not twodim ensional works like paintings on canvas or paper, but are more like three-dimensional sculptures. They are flexible and move with fluctuations in the environment. The conservation section undertook the complete refit and strengthening of the complex aluminium m ounting systems which support the barks yet are flexible enough to move with them in changing environmental conditions. This has made the barks ready for further travel, as plans are underway to display them elsewhere in

enquiries librarian.

Outreach activities for the year included several tours o f our facilities for family history groups.

The library also participated in the study tour program for university & TAFE students of Library and Information Science.

The library received accreditation from the Australian Governm ent Locator Service (AGLS) for metadata which was added to the m useum ’s web site to improve accessibility. This is in line with the Comm onwealth Governm ent’s on-line requirements for government agencies. Library staff developed new on-line resource guides for our Pathfinder series, to enhance the web site at http://www.anmm.gov.au/lib/subject.htm. A collaborative project with maritime author Graeme Andrews led to several new Pathfinder titles on ports, river trade working craft and ferries. A Pathfinder resource guide for HSC

maritime archaeology program, and the NSW Heritage Office. This was form ulated to cater as well for the needs o f rem ote students with no access to a large research or university library, and complements the museum 's conservation w orkshops for school students.

The library is named after its founding donor, the widely respected amateur maritime historian the late Vaughan Evans OAM, who donated his large personal library of m onographs and serials to form the collection's core. This year proved to be a busy one for library staff w ith increased usage by m useum staff working on a busy exhibition

G reater use is being made of the library’s pages on the m useum ’s web site http;// www.anm m.gov, au/libhome .htm. which include a number of frequently consulted research aids and indexes to ship images, and contact from the public by email has increased. People visiting the library in person to conduct research also increased. Revenue from enquiries rose and the number of ‘thank you’ letters also increased, a reflection of the im provements in service that have been made since the appointment o f a public

program, and by the public. This trend is one that has continued since the library opened (four years before the museum itself opened to the public). The trend has only ever been halted by

The continued participation by a small and dedicated team of Vaughan Evans Library volunteers enabled several new indexing projects to be started, while good progress was made with existing projects.

PROFILE AND IMAGE PROGRAM SUMMARY

Market research

Awareness and support

From March a market researcher was contracted for a year to undertake analysis o f various aspects of the m useum ’s attractions and services, to help make these products more closely aligned to market needs and expectations. An exit survey of the 2002 Classic & Wooden Boat Festival was conducted. A tracking study of visitors to two temporary exhibitions, Oceans Apart and Banumbirr - M orning Star Poles examined visitor flow, to improve future exhibitions’ floorplan layout and placement of major labels. A face-to-face study was undertaken to assist selection o f the title for a future major temporary exhibition. Evaluation of the audio guides provided for visitors to the m useum ’s ex-RAN

Increased aw areness of and support for the museum grows from activities across every branch. It depends on close collaborations between staff undertaking the m useum ’s core activities - developing programs and products that attract attention for their quality and relevance - and staff who prom ote them to diverse markets and audiences. Program s such as The Welcome Wall raise the m useum 's profile among the many migrant cultures that constitute modern Australia. Key groups whose support is essential to the m useum ’s work include corporate and individual benefactors, M em bers and volunteers.

Marketing and media M arketing the museum is undertaken using two broad strategies. One focuses on exhibitions and events as specific incentives for audiences to attend. The other promotes the museum and its facilities as a rewarding place to visit for both Sydneysiders and tourists. M arketing staff utilised a variety of direct advertising media, selected for specific markets w hich vary according to the nature of the new museum attractions being promoted. Joint promotions with other attractions and tourism groups were tracked through incentive coupon campaigns, allowing more accurate and effective targeting of the marketing budget.

The newly-created external relations unit had a year that was outstanding for the am ount of m edia exposure generated by new attractions at the museum, in particular the Watermarks exhibition and the first Food at Sea Festival. The major newspapers have carried substantial feature articles on these and other museum activities, including the national newspaper The A ustralian's colour weekend m agazine which featured Watermarks as the cover story on the A ustralia Day long weekend.

destroyer and submarine included both visitor responses and feedback from volunteer guides stationed on these two popular attractions.

Publications Print and electronic publications such as the web site http://www.anmm.gov.au support the m useum ’s profile and image and take it to international audiences (see Appendix 4).

Enhancing the Members program ’s presence on the web site and raising the num ber of Member services available on-line was given priority. An email M embers newsletter was under development. The publications section administers a growing demand for reproductions of ship images from the collection.

Corporate support Sponsors continued to provide valuable financial support, products and services for our programs.

The travel and shipping industries have assisted the m useum ’s many exhibition programs, particularly those drawing on overseas collections. Support for the National Maritime C ollection’s acquisitions this year is detailed in the previous section, Key Result Area 3.

Corporate sponsors are acknowledged in Appendix 10. Appendix 11 lists Corporate Members, an allied program administered by the

PROFILE AND IMAGE Members manager. The establishment o f a Foundation to support m useum activities, principally to build a fund for major additions to the National Maritime Collection, is detailed in the D irector's Overview on page 7.

Members In conjunction with the m useum ’s ) Oth anniversary we launched the HM AS Sydney model appeal, a M embers project to raise funds to build models of HMAS Sydney II, III & IV. These will join an existing model o f HMAS Sydney I in the Navy exhibition when it is redesigned next year. The M em bers’ 10th anniversary luncheon was a gala affair, featuring as its guest speaker the Australian author Blanche d ’Alpuget who related her childhood experiences growing up on Sydney H arbour and sailing with her father, the noted yachtsman and yachting historian Lou d ’Alpuget. Visits by M embers and their guests to the museum totalled 19,640. There were 976 new members enrolled during the year, and the rate of m em bership renewals rose to 74%. Corporate mem berships rose to 37. The inaugural sponsor of the M em bers program, Cunard, reached the end of its 10-year contract and new sponsorships are being sought.

Volunteers The m useum ’s 10th birthday celebrations included the first issue o f the 10-year gold volunteer service badge to 35 volunteers.

Volunteers help deliver the m useum ’s services in many ways, working in most museum sections as the table opposite shows. They are essential to help manage crowds at major events such as the Classic & Wooden Boat Festival and our freeadmission Australia Day celebrations when visitor numbers peak. At 30 June 2002 the m useum had 367 registered volunteers, up 9.2% for the same time last year. Volunteers contributed 41,180 hours during the year. This is 1,677 hours less than for the same period last year (which included the Olympic period) but 17.7% above the m useum ’s target of 35,000 hours.

Volunteer guides have led a total of 3,383 Vampire tours, escorting 28,333 visitors, up 19.8% from last year. General m useum guides have conducted 2,288 tours, escorting 10,392 visitors, up 35.3% from last year. The Cape Bowling Green Lighthouse/Fleet had 229 visitors on 46 guided tours. The lighthouse has been closed for m ost of the year for restoration works.

Guided tours o f W harf 7 were attended by 1,483 visitors on 470 separate tours.

The volunteers section manages student applications for work experiences, liaising with section managers to find appropriate placements if resources allow. There were 20 applications from secondary school students, 14 o f whom were placed. Fifteen applications from tertiary and college students resulted in nine placements.

At 30 June 2002, volunteers have contributed 279,677 hours since the m useum ’s inception.

Valued at $12 per hour this equates to services worth $3.36 million dollars.

The Welcome Wall In May the 10,000th registrant on the Welcome Wall was unveiled by the N SW Governor, Professor M arie Bashir, along with another 850 new names, watched by 1,500 guests. It was the second unveiling of names during the year, the previous one featuring as guest speaker the Australian author Thomas Keneally. The Welcome Wall is a tribute to the six million people who have m igrated from across the seas to make a new home in Australia. The museum launched The Welcome Wall in November 1997 with the support o f its principal sponsor Optus, which saw the project's focus on A ustralia’s cultural diversity as one that complemented its own corporate goals as a leading multicultural organisation. This year Optus encouraged its staff to participate in The Welcome Wall by subm itting their own stories about the experiences o f themselves or family members in migrating to Australia, to win their own place on The Welcome Wall.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis o f A ccounting The financial statements are required by clause 1(b) o f Schedule 1 o f the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies A ct 1997 and are a general purpose financial report.

The statem ents have been prepared in accordance with: •

Finance M inister’s Orders (being the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies (Financial Statements 2001-2002) Orders;

•

A ustralian Accounting Standards and Accounting Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board; other authoritative pronouncem ents o f the Board; and

•

the Consensus Views o f the Urgent Issues Group.

The statem ents have been prepared having regard to: •

the Explanatory Notes to Schedule 1 issued by the D epartm ent of Finance and Adm inistration; and

•

Finance Briefs issued by the D epartm ent o f Finance and Administration.

The Statements of Financial Perform ance and Financial Position have been prepared on an accrual basis and are in accordance with historical cost convention, except for certain assets which, as noted, are at valuation. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or the financial position.

Assets and liabilities are recognised in the Statement o f Financial Position when and only when it is probable that future econom ic benefits will flow and the amounts o f the assets or liabilities can be reliably measured. Assets and liabilities arising under agreem ents equally proportionately unperform ed are however not recognised unless required by an Accounting Standard. Liabilities and assets which are unrecognised, are reported in the Schedule of Com m itm ents and the Schedule o f Contingencies.

Revenues and expenses are recognised in the Statem ent o f Financial Perform ance when and only when the flow or consum ption or loss of econom ic benefit has occurred and can be reliably measured.

Consolidation and associated company. The financial statem ents show information for the economic entity only; this reflects the consolidated results for the parent entity, the Australian National M aritime Museum, and its wholly owned subsidiary. The Australian National M aritime Foundation. The results of the parent entity do not differ materially from the economic entity and have therefore not been separately disclosed. The A ustralian National M aritime Foundation is a company lim ited by guarantee, with an initial contribution of $385,620.

The assets, liabilities and results of The Australian National M aritime Foundation have been consolidated with the parent entity accounts in accordance with AAS24 - Consolidated Financial Reports. All internal transactions and balances have been elim inated on consolidation.

1.2 Changes in Accounting Policies The accounting policies used in the preparation o f these financial statem ents are consistent with those used in 2000-2001.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2002 1.3 Reporting by Outcomes A comparison of Budget and Actual figures by outcom e specified in the Appropriation Acts relevant to the M useum is presented in Note 22. Any intra-governm ent costs included in the figure â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;net cost to Budget outcom esâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are eliminated in calculating the actual budget outcome for the G overnment overall.

1.4 Revenue The revenues described in this Note are revenues relating to the core operating activities of the Museum.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery o f goods to customers.

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

Revenue from disposal o f non-current assets is recognised when control of the asset has passed to the buyer.

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of contracts. The stage of com pletion is determ ined according to the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estim ated total costs o f the transaction.

Revenues from G overnment - Output Appropriations The full amount of the appropriation for departmental outputs for the year is recognised as revenue.

Resources R eceived Free o f Charge Services received free of charge are recognised as revenue when and only when a fair value can be reliably determ ined and the services would have been purchased if they had not been donated. U se of the resources is recognised as an expense.

Contributions of assets at no cost o f acquisition or for nominal consideration are recognised at their fair value when the asset qualifies for recognition.

1.5 Em ployee Entitlem ents Leave The liability for employee entitlem ents includes provision for annual leave and long service leave. No provision has been made for sick leave as it is non-vesting and the average sick leave taken in future years by em ployees is estim ated to be less than the annual entitlem ent for sick leave.

The liability for annual leave reflects the value of total annual leave entitlem ents of all em ployees at 30 June 2002 and is recognised at its nominal amount.

The non-current portion o f the liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of the estim ated future cash flows to be made in respect o f all em ployees at 30 June 2002. In determining the present value of the liability, the M useum has taken into account attrition rates and pay increases through prom otion and inflation.

Superannuation Employees contribute to the Comm onwealth Superannuation Scheme and Public Sector Superannuation Scheme. Em ployer contributions amounting to $462,899 (2000-01: $455,162) in relation to these schemes have been expensed in these financial statements.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2002 No liability for superannuation benefits is recognised as at 30 June as the employer contributions fully extinguish the accruing liability, which is assumed by the Commonwealth.

Em ployer Productivity Superannuation Contributions totalled $168,842 (2000-01: $170,981).

Leases

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased non-current assets, and operating leases, under w hich the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits. The M useum has no finance leases.

Operating lease payments are expensed on a basis that is representative o f the pattern of benefits derived from the leased assets.

1.7

Borrowing Costs

All borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

1.8

Grants

The M useum recognises grant liabilities as follows.

M ost grant agreem ents require the grantee to perform services or provide facilities, or to meet eligibility criteria. In these cases, liabilities are recognised only to the extent that the services required have been performed or the eligibility criteria have been satisfied by the grantee.

In cases w here grant agreem ents are made w ithout conditions to be monitored, liabilities are recognised on signing o f the agreement.

1.9

Cash

Cash means notes and coins held and any deposits held at call with a bank or financial institution.

1.10 Financial Instrum ents Accounting policies in relation to financial instrum ents are disclosed in Note 19.

1.11

A cquisition o f Assets

Assets are recorded at cost on acquisition except as stated below. The cost of acquisition includes the fair value of assets transferred in exchange and liabilities undertaken.

1.12 Property (Land, Buildings and Infrastructure), Plant and Equipm ent A sset Recognition Threshold Purchases o f property, plant and equipm ent are recognised initially at cost in the Statem ent of Financial Position, except for purchases costing less than $2,000, w hich are expensed in the year of acquisition (other than where they form part of a group of sim ilar items which are significant in total).

Revaluations Land, buildings, infrastructure, plant and equipm ent are revalued progressively in accordance with the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;deprivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; m ethod o f valuation in successive three-year cycles, so that no asset has a value greater than three years old.

52

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2002 The M useum completed its asset revaluation on 30 June 2002, with asset groups updated as follows: • • •

leasehold land and buildings were revalued in 2000-01; leasehold im provements have been revalued in 2001-02; exhibition fitouts have been revalued by type of asset in 2001-02;

•

plant and equipm ent, including inform ation technology equipm ent, have been revalued by type o f asset in 2001-02; the National M aritime Collection has been revalued in 1999-2000.

•

Assets in each class acquired after the com m encem ent of a progressive revaluation cycle are not captured by the progressive revaluation then in progress.

In accordance with the deprival methodology, land is measured at its current market buying price. Property (other than land), plant and equipm ent are measured at their depreciated replacem ent cost. W here assets are held which would not be replaced or are surplus to requirem ents, measurem ent is at net realisable value. At 30 June 2002, there were no assets in this situation.

The revaluation in 2002 was conducted by the Australian Valuation Office.

Recoverable A m ount test Schedule 1 requires the application of the recoverable amount test to the M useum ’s noncurrent assets in accordance with AAS 10 Recoverable Am ount o f Non-Current Assets. The carrying amounts of these non-current assets have been reviewed to determine w hether they are in excess o f their recoverable amounts. In assessing recoverable amounts, the relevant cash flows have been discounted to their present value.

Depreciation and Am ortisation Depreciable property, plant and equipm ent assets are written off to their estim ated residual values over their estim ated useful lives to the M useum using, in all cases, the straight line method of depreciation. Leasehold im provem ents are amortised on a straight line basis over the lesser o f the estim ated useful life o f the improvements or the unexpired period o f the lease.

D epreciation/am ortisation rates (useful lives) and methods are reviewed at each balance date and necessary adjustm ents are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate. R esidual values are re-estim ated for a change in prices only when assets are revalued.

D epreciation and amortisation rates applying to each class o f depreciable asset are based on the following useful lives: Buildings Leasehold land Leasehold im provements Perm anent exhibition items Infrastructure, plant and equipm ent

2001-02

2000-01

22 years 105 years L ease term or 10 years 7 - 20 years 5% - 33%

22 years 105 years Lease term or 10 years 7 - 2 0 years 5% - 33%

The Collection is not depreciated because o f its long term nature and the expected appreciation o f its historical value.

The aggregate am ount o f depreciation allowed for each class o f asset during the reporting period is disclosed in Note 4D.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2002 1.13 Inventories Inventories held for resale by the M useum store are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Inventories not held for resale are valued at cost, unless they are no longer required, in which case they are valued at net realisable value.

1.14 Taxation The M useum is exempt from all forms of taxation except fringe benefits tax and goods and services tax.

1.15. Capital Usage Charge A capital usage charge o f 11% (2000-01:12% ) is imposed by the G overnment on the net assets of the Museum. The charge is adjusted to take account of asset gifts and revaluation increments during the year.

1.16

Foreign Currency

Transactions denom inated in a foreign currency are converted at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency receivables and payables (if any) are translated at the exchange rates current as at balance date.

1.17 Insurance The Museum has insured for risks through the G overnm ent’s insurable risk managed fund, called ‘Com cover’. Workers com pensation is insured through Comcare Australia.

1.18 Comparative Figures Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in these financial statements where required.

19 Rounding A mounts are rounded to the nearest $1,000 except in relation to: • • •

rem uneration of council mem bers; rem uneration of auditors; and Trust and Foundation monies.

2. ECONOM IC DEPENDENCY The Australian National M aritime M useum is controlled by the Com m onwealth of Australia.

The M useum is dependent on appropriations from the Parliam ent o f the Com m onwealth for its continued existence and ability to carry out its normal activities.

APPENDIX 12 MMAPSSgrants2001-2002 This year a record 16 grants totalling $35,055 have been awarded to maritime heritage organisations in the annual Maritime Museums o f Australia Project Support Scheme (MMAPSS), jointly funded by the ANMM and the Commonwealth Government’s Distributed National Collection Program.

Armfield Slipway & Boatshed, SA: $4,000 for restoration o f wooden riverboat Lotus, built in 1910 at Goolwa. Lotus was a family pleasure boat and working vessel moving small sheep and cattle barges around the property. In the 1920s she was used as a hearse to transport the original ow ner’s coffin from the homestead to Renmark for burial.

Traditional steam-bent ribs will be attached with copper nails and roves to the existing sound planking and to new planking fitted where required, and the hull will be caulked. Lotus will join the Armfield Slipway’s fleet of boats.

Buubury Timber Jetty Preservation Society, WA: $2,000 to develop an education resource for secondary schools in the Greater Bunbury district, and to heighten awareness of the Bunbury Timber Jetty. A section of the jetty has recently been re­ opened to the public by the society, which wants to raise awareness of its significance. The project will help schoolchildren to understand and appreciate their heritage, and give teachers a local alternative for excursions. A higher profile for the jetty will encourage community ‘ownership’ and voluntary assistance for its restoration.

Cape Byron Trust, NSW: $2,500 towards the development of a Cape Byron lightstation maritime museum, for establishing an interpretative display of heritage artefacts acquired in the archival acquisition funded by a 1999-2000 MMAPSS grant. A collection of maritime artefacts related to the operation o f the lighthouse will be cleaned, stored, arranged and labelled. The collection will be presented in the southern room of the Cape Byron Lighthouse which has been set aside for this purpose.

Clarence River Historical Society, NSW: $2,000 to conserve a diving outfit in the collection of the oldest historical society in country NSW, established in 1931. The society holds an extensive collection of maritime photographs, paintings, ship memorabilia and a library containing rare books. The Siebe diving helmet and canvas suit, together with a hand pump, are

fine examples o f the early diving equipment used in wharf and bridge construction, and laying water mains across the river.

Coffs Harbour Historical Society & M useum, NSW: $3,000 for collation and preservation of a collection of old maritime history films by professional film makers. Subjects include South Solitary Island in the 1930s, the port, timber, shipping and maritime matters. Film and photographs will be copied to video and prints to preserve originals affected by vinegar viruses. A professional film producer will assist with editing and narrating. The film will benefit schoolchildren and the many visitors to Coffs Harbour.

Devonport M aritime Museum & Historical Society, Tasmania: $ 1,000 to complete the refurbishment of the original Mersey Maritime Board Signal Station, and provide interpretative signage and an educational kit. The station played an important role in the port of Devonport. The project will enhance the appearance of the museum and its surrounds and will be a drawcard for visitors, increasing their knowledge and appreciation of local maritime heritage. The station will provide hands-on experience in the protocol of flag care and communications for Navy cadets and other organisations.

Dominican Sisters of Eastern Australia & The Solomon Islands, NSW: $1,000 for conservation and copying of a journal about the Dominican Sisters’ voyage to Australia on the Martha Birnie in 1867. The project aims to have photos made for exhibition and to prepare a kit which can be used to enhance the storytelling. The conserved diary will be copied and transcribed onto CDs for preservation, exhibition and presentations.

Illawarra Military Heritage Society Inc, Breakwater Battery M ilitary Museum, NSW: $ 1,500 to manage and display the museum’s collection of naval artefacts. The project includes an assessment of the conservation and storage needs o f the collection o f RAN and RN

APPENDIX 12 MMAPSS grants 2001-2002 memorabilia, and the establishment of an exhibition space dealing with Naval history with emphasis on links to the lllawarra region. The display will complement the proposed Port Kembla Maritime Museum.

M aritim e M useum of Tasmania: $2,000 to improve access and storage o f a significant collection of 100 ship models. The museum is now focusing on organising the collections and improving documentation procedures. Work on the project includes research and documentation for a database, digitally photographing the models and moving them to a working area visible to the public. A conservation workshop will be run for volunteers and the skills acquired will be used to box all stored models.

M id-North Coast Maritime M useum , NSW: $2,000 funding has been provided to assist with the cost of restoration o f MV Goniemah, a 10.97 m (36 ft) timber launch built in 1948. Goniemah will be returned to full operation in NSW Waterways survey. The vessel will be hauled out at the m useum’s slipway and small shipyard for a total review of the hull, cabins, mechanical and electric systems to determine the scope of preservation needed. Maintenance will be undertaken by retirees and tourists, providing social benefits as well as income for the museum when the vessel makes passenger trips on the Hasting River.

Richmond River Historical Society, NSW: $2,205 for preservation and display o f the society’s maritime collection. Lismore was the head of navigation on the north arm o f the Richmond River, now known as Wilsons River. This project will help preserve the society’s collection of artefacts, photographs and newspaper clippings and provide greater access to the material, which covers an important period of Lism ore’s history.

An interpretative display will feature the Port of Lismore and use of Wilsons River.

Runnymede Committee, National Trust of Tasmania: $2,000 towards the production o f an illustrated guide book, Runnymede’s Maritime Heritage. Runnymede, built c 1840 and originally called Cairn Lodge, is a substantial Georgian

home which has been operated as a house museum by the National Trust of Tasmania since 1965. Its third owner was a prominent master mariner and whaler, Captain Charles Bayley, who named it Runnymede after one o f his whaling vessels. The guidebook will describe the link between Runnymede and the maritime history of Tasmania, documenting the maritime components o f the house collection.

Sydney Heritage Fleet, NSW: $ 1,750 for conservation of glass plate negatives. Sydney Heritage Fleet holds glass plate negative collections of 19th and 20th-century sailing ships and Burns Philp ships which were involved in plantation operations. The photos will be printed to facilitate cataloguing and research, which will also help to preserve the glass plates by limiting their exposure to damage by handling.

W hale World, WA: $2,000 to produce an educational package about the Cheynes Beach Whaling Station, scene of the last commercial whaling in Australia until its closure in 1978. The station was of major importance not only to Albany but the whole country. W hale World has over 4,000 students visiting each year. The education package will enhance their experience and be available to students and teachers worldwide on the Internet.

W hyalla M aritim e M useum , SA: $3,000 to assist restoration of the fishing vessel Valkyrie, one of the oldest surviving sea-going wooden boats in South Australia. The boat served along this coast until 1998 and represents an important part of the state’s maritime history. Valkyrie has been purchased for a new exhibition which will feature the life of ordinary seamen, their skills and duties, fishing and boat building.

Wooden Boat Guild o f Tasmania: $3,100.

O f the hundreds of boats built since European settlement only a handful remain, generally in poor condition. Terra Linna, a Huon pine yacht built in 1880, is a rare example of local design requirements. Funding will will be used for research on the Terra Linna and will produce interpretative information to be handed over to the Maritime Museum o f Tasmania.
