chairman’s message

It gives me great pleasure to present to you the Australian National Maritime Museum’s annual report, covering the period 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009. This report addresses the key result areas and key performance indicators of the AN M M Strategic Plan 2006-2009. I am pleased to observe that the museum’s achievements, measured against the goals and outcomes, are outstanding. The results are all the more pleasing when considered against the demanding economic climate that has prevailed throughout the period. These circumstances will challenge the museum for the next few years and a balance will need to be struck between competing activities and the museum's limited resources. It has been a privilege to work with a dedicated team which includes the Council, management, staff and volunteers. All should be proud that they have contributed to a wonderful tally of exhibitions and acquisitions, programs and events, services and facilities that have served the Australian community in the field of preserving and interpreting its maritime history and heritage. I would like to acknowledge too the support of the Australian Government through its various heritage and cultural programs, and that of the museum’s many sponsors, donors and supporters, who make our work possible. 1look forward to the Government’s support in the future to meet the museum's site development needs. For their advice and expertise, I also acknowledge my fellow members of the Council of the Australian National Maritime Museum. In particular, a tremendous thank you to the councillors whose terms ended this year: Ms Gaye Hart a m and Dr Andrew Sutherland. A warm welcome to our new councillors: Mr Peter Harvie, Ms Robyn Holt, Attending the May unveiling of new names on The Welcome Wall were museum chairman Peter Sinclair a m c s c , councillor Dr Julia Horne, Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts the Hon Peter Garrett a m m p , director Mary-Louise Williams and our guest speakers Marco Berti, Elizabeth Wang and Chahin Baker.

Dr Julia Horne, and Mr Neville Stevens a o . And finally, congratulations to our Naval member, Rear Admiral Stephen Gilmore a m c s c r a n , for his recent promotion to that rank and his appointment as the Commander, Australian Fleet. Peter Sinclair a m c s c Chairman Australian National Maritime Museum 3

director’s overview

During the year under review, management and staff of the Australian National Maritime Museum devoted substantial time, energy and imagination, in workshops and collaborative sessions, to review the museum’s goals and achievements to date and to develop a new strategic plan for the triennium 2009-2012. The plan was approved, tabled in parliament and published this year in accordance with the museum’s legislation. Among the themes emerging most strongly from the workshops were those of greater engagement with issues of the environment, while embracing and exploiting the rapidly changing technologies of communication and interaction with our audiences. In these pages, reporting on the final year of our 2006-2009 strategic plan, the emphasis is once again on the museum’s national role, as it is reflected in our Charter of Operations 2008-09. Its themes include national leadership; collaboration with other cultural and educational institutions; ensuring the greatest possible access to our collections and programs; sharing our expertise and reaching out to ever-widening audiences. Special sections in the pages following the director's overview itemise our outreach and collaborative activities.

01 the year in review director’s overview

maritime heritage highlights The museum's achievements in research made national headlines in January this year when news came in from the Great Barrier Reef that our maritime archaeology team had located the wreck of explorer Phillip Parker King's little ship Mermaid. King’s achievements in charting Australia’s coast make Mermaid a very important vessel in our history. The 40-member dive team, led by our maritime archaeologist Kieran Hosty, included colleagues from James Cook University, the Museum of Tropical Queensland, Queensland Museum, the Maritime Archaeological Association of Queensland and the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts. With the team were another three qualified AN MM maritime archaeologists, plus two high school students and their history teacher selected through a nationwide contest to join the expedition. The project was made possible by a partnership with our benefactors, John and Jacqui Mullen and their Silentworld Foundation, whose support was greatly appreciated. The Federal Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts, the Hon Peter Garrett a m m p , attended the museum to pay tribute to the team and announce the wreck site’s protection under the Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976. The most notable acquisition of the year was without doubt The Charlotte Medal, a rare depiction of a First Fleet ship, the transport Charlotte. Engraved by a convict forger for the surgeon-general of the First Fleet as the ship lay in Botany Bay at the end of the voyage from Portsmouth, the silver medallion is Australia’s first colonial work of art. The museum took a bold and determined stand to gain this national treasure at auction in Melbourne in July last year, obtaining additional funding from the Commonwealth’s National

Cultural Heritage Account. Taking into account the everescalating prices being paid for important, historically significant artefacts, the many calls on the finite budgets we manage, and the real risk of being outbid by private collectors or indeed by larger institutions, we were very pleased to be able to secure The Charlotte Medal from the threat of disappearing into a private collection or, worse still, overseas. We put it on display without delay. Our approaches to maritime heritage take many different forms, and involve staff from many different sections of the organisation. The museum has encouraged the revival of a unique part of Sydney’s harbour heritage, the racing of spectacular model skiffs with huge sail plans. This was a wintertime sport that flourished in working harbour suburbs such as Balmain and Drummoyne for the first half of the 20th century, before being displaced by more modern pastimes. Museum Members looked on from a heritage ferry as owners of the vintage models, including some who had raced them in their youth, demonstrated the old racing techniques on Iron Cove. This was conceived of as an activity in conjunction with our popular international exhibition Bateaux Jouets - toy boats from Paris 18501950 from the Musee national de la Marine, Paris. Another international exhibition became the museum’s key drawcard for the all-important summer season. This was Vaka Moana - Voyages of the Ancestors, from New Zealand’s Auckland Museum - Tamaki Paenga Hira. It presented the story of the Pacific Ocean’s exploration and settlement through extraordinary feats of navigation by the Austronesian cultures from whom today’s Pacific peoples are descended. Once again it's been a matter of great satisfaction to bring another first-class international touring

exhibition to this country. It’s a reflection of the close relations we have built up with leading museums around the world, enabling us to access their cultural treasures to share with Australian audiences. This exhibition provided us with an opportunity to forge new connections with the community by developing further programs for visitors with disability. Staff developed touch tours for people with vision impairment, which were incorporated into a month of activities being run in association with International Day of People With Disability.

partnerships This year has seen the fruition of several partnerships in Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage grants, designed to promote collaborative research and link higher education institutions with other organisations and commercial enterprises. The museum’s exhibition Charles Darwin - Voyages and ideas that shook the w orld- our contribution to the widely-marked 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of publication of On the Origin of Species - was the focus of one of these. Staff worked with the University of Sydney, the Australian National University and Screen Australia on a publication, a symposium and digital learning outcomes associated with this exhibition. The international two-day symposium ‘In the wake of the Beagle - Science in the southern oceans from the age of Darwin’ brought together Australian and overseas academics to explore the development of Darwin’s evolutionary theory and examine the influence of his work on modem scientific research. The handsome conference proceedings of the same title, which we published in association with UNSW Press, had a greater impact than we’d normally expect fora scholarly publication of this nature. 14

In 2008-2009 another ARC Linkage project reached completion. This was Indigenous Knowledge and Western Science: A comparative analysis, which brought us together with the New South Wales Department of Education and Training, the Northern Territory’s Yirrkala Schools Council and Buku Larrngay Mulka Arts and Culture Centre, and the Centre of Cross-Cultural Research at the Australian National University. The project investigates ways of including Indigenous knowledge within the science curriculum. A component is based on the museum's unique collection of contemporary bark paintings by 47 Yolngu artists, the Saltwater Collection. They document Yolngu culture, knowledge systems, Indigenous rights, non-European contact, animals, fishing, oceanography and climate, and provide links into a number of curriculum areas. In December 2008 the museum's digitisation strategy took a step forward with the launch of eMuseum, an online collection resource at www.anmm.gov.au/emuseum. This will open our collection to a broader audience beyond the limits of the museum’s geographical location and opening hours. While still in its infancy, more objects are being added progressively as they are catalogued. eMuseum joins another valuable online research resource, the Australian Register of Historic Vessels, which uses the same delivery software. It is building a national picture of historic vessels and their designers,

milestones Historical anniversaries provide us with many opportunities to engage with our audiences in all sorts of ways. In June 2009 we staged a weekend of celebrations for the 50th anniversary of commissioning of the museum's Daring class destroyer HMAS Vampire. They ranged from a formal dinner to family activities, an anniversary luncheon for the HMAS Vampire Association and a seminar with presentations by many of the ship’s former commanding officers. It was a special achievement to bring these distinguished Naval men together for the occasion, along with all the other ex-Vampire personnel from all over Australia who joined us that weekend. Vampire is far more than just a museum piece. The spirit of the ship lives on through the dedicated band of supporters and volunteers who help us to interpret it. It was 60 years last December since the Australian artist Jack Earl completed his voyage around the world in the ketch Kathleen Giiiett named after his beloved wife. The restored yacht - based on a famous Norwegian design - was Norway’s generous Bicentennial gift to Australia in 1988. We marked the anniversary with an exhibition Kathleen darling ... Jack Earl’s voyage around the world 1947-48 - and by inviting the only surviving crew member, Lyell ‘Mick’ Morris, to sail once again on the vessel with his wife Phyllis and their family, and to recall the adventures that he experienced voyaging around the world.

And 30 years after setting his still-unbroken world water speed record on 8 October 1978, that legendary Australian Ken Warby visited the museum where his selfbuilt, jet-powered Spirit of Australia has been displayed as one of our icons ever since the museum’s doors opened to the public. It was one of our first acquisitions, back in the 1980s when the official world water speed record of 511.11 km/h (317.6 mph) was just a decade old. This time we invited Ken to join us for the anniversary - he flew out from the United States where he now lives - and we made a media event of it.

operational environment The year under review was dominated by economic turmoil and uncertainty and the museum was not immune to its effects. We were forced to cancel the HMB Endeavour replica’s planned voyage to Cooktown and regional centres in 2009. For the first time since the museum took over ownership of the vessel we were unable to fill sufficient paying berths to make our annual voyage to regional and interstate ports, an important outreach activity that makes this outstanding historical display available beyond Sydney, and offers our passengers the unique experience of 18th-century seamanship and shipboard life. left: Ex-HMAS Vampire COs and friends at the ship's 50th birthday seminar.

He was visiting the museum 30 years after setting a still-unbroken world water speed record of 511.11 km/h. 15

The disappointing bookings reflected the national slump in sales experienced across the travel industry. Nonetheless the replica’s 2008 outreach voyages to Brisbane, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie and Newcastle were a great success, as reported in Section 2. They were a huge logistical task for our Endeavour staff, recruiting and training paying voyagers, preparing, provisioning and navigating the ship, and liaising with port authorities - and that included ensuring the dredgers had done their work properly in the river ports, so that there was enough water for Endeavour to berth! Our staff also worked hard to accommodate the crowds that queued to inspect the ship in each port. Despite the global financial crisis reducing the number of inbound tourists visiting the museum, we once again demonstrated great strength in the Sydney market by taking the lead as the most visited museum

outlook With the widely-heralded economic recovery we look forward to making good some of the impacts of the global financial crisis already mentioned. We feel confident of a successful 2009 - 2010 summer season

for five months of the year. This excellent result reflects the increased profile achieved as a result of a diverse program of major exhibitions and events. Visitor-related commercial income streams held up well, although our venue hire and hospitality operations were immediately impacted by the slump in business confidence as company bookings for our venues fell markedly.

- our most important operational period for visitation and revenue - when we host another of our international exhibitions, this time Mythic Creatures: dragons, unicorns and mermaids, coming here thanks to a collaboration we have been involved in with a prestigious consortium of North American museums headed by the American Museum of Natural History, New York. Our revealing exhibition Exposed!

The museum completed a number of significant capital works to improve our facilities and the way we serve our public. We improved access to the historic vessel basin by constructing a public performance deck and amphitheatre. Facilities at our Wharf 7 Maritime Heritage Centre were enhanced by constructing new workshop and office annexes. And we improved security and waste management by constructing new facilities on the main museum building’s north face. In the area of information and communications technology, we have begun to procure a new electronic document and records management system (EDRMS) to allow the museum to meet IS015489 Recordkeeping, managing paper and electronic records including email. We also upgraded TMS, our collections and exhibitions management system, to the latest version and developed in-house skills that allow us to better manage the database. And there has been an expansion of the museum’s online presence into social media (blog, Flickr, YouTube, MySpace and Facebook), a monthly HTML newsletter, an online exhibition American Warbrides, and a volunteers website. In February 2009 I was reappointed as director of the Australian National Maritime Museum for a further L6

five-year term. Since I was first appointed director in 2000, it has given me great pride and pleasure to have the opportunity to lead this museum, and to work with a truly dedicated team of staff and volunteers to make it the remarkable cultural institution that it is today. I look forward to the challenges ahead.

the flora of the Australian east coast, as part of our Sail Away travelling program so that in 2009-2010 we will have no less than four shows on the road. The museum is currently working on a major initiative to develop an international touring program exploring the experiences of child and youth migrants from the United Kingdom. This is in partnership with the leading UK cultural organisation, National Museums Liverpool, and its bustling dockside venue the Merseyside Maritime Museum. The driving force behind the collaboration is to enable us to tell the potent story of child migration in its historical and global context, and to reach audiences in both countries. For the National Maritime Collection we are working to position ourselves to acquire an extremely important collection of Pacific cultural material related directly to James Cook’s voyages, when it comes on the market early in 2009-2010.

outreach

The Australian National Maritime Museum is continually working to develop a wider reach and to extend its services to communities outside Sydney and across Australia. Outreach encompasses a wide range of activities including (but not limited to) print and electronic publishing, public and schools programs, community-based projects, travelling exhibitions, web-based programs, advisory services to remote and regional Australia, on-site visits, grant programs, building collaborative relationships and access through voyages of ANMM’s HMB Endeavour replica. The 2008-2009 outreach program can be summarised as follows.

the Arts. Grants of up to $10,000 are awarded to non-profit maritime museums and historical societies, most of which are community-based and run by volunteers, to fund restoration, conservation, collection management and exhibition development projects. The scheme was initiated in 1995 and since then 171 projects across all Australian states and most of its territories have been supported. This year we awarded a record $100,000 to 19 heritage projects and funded two internships. Details of these appear in Appendix 1.

Australian Register of Historic Vessels and other online services The Australian Register of Historic Vessels is an online database (www.anmm.gov.au/arhv) building a national picture of historic vessels and their designers, builders and owners. This year it was expanded by an additional 93 vessels. The eMuseum project (www.anmm.gov.au/ emuseum) is digitising the National Maritime Collection for access by people who cannot visit the museum. It was launched this year with 1,517 objects made available.

Vaughan Evans Library The library, named for the maritime historian whose personal library became the core of its now-unrivalled maritime history collection, provides personalised research enquiry services to those who cannot visit in person. This year it assisted 2,977 external enquiries. The library’s online research resources include extensive indexes of ship illustrations, its digitised collection of 1920-30s Australian Motor Boat and Yachting Monthly (increasingly in demand for restoration research) and this year added the complete digitised back issues of the museum’s quarterly journal Signals which goes back to 1986. It was published from the museum’s inception as a newsletter, was relaunched as Signals in 1989 and has grown to become a widely circulated flagship publication for the museum, exploring and communicating widely and in depth the museum’s broad vision of maritime history, heritage and culture.

corporate governance The museum is a statutory authority within the Environment, Heritage, Water and the Arts portfolio. Its enabling legislation, the Australian National Maritime Museum Act 1990, established a governing council to ensure the proper and efficient performance of its functions. At 30 June 2009, the council comprised nine members including the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director and a representative of the Royal Australian Navy. The full council met four times during the reporting period and business is facilitated through five committees (finance and audit; major capital works; collections development and exhibitions; marketing, programs and sponsorship; fleet). They meet in advance of each full council meeting, and additionally if required. These committees are charged with providing specific advice to council and management on the matters identified in their respective charters. Each committee comprises the director and a minimum of two other councillors, one of whom acts as chair. All councillors are welcome to attend any committee meeting in an ex-officio capacity. (Refer Appendix 14.) The council undergoes periodic self-assessment. A number of councillors are members of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and subject to its code of conduct. All councillors are aware of the need to comply with both the letter and the spirit of relevant legislation. Operations are informed by the highest museological standards and codes of practice and all staff are bound to the Australian Public Service values and code of conduct. 30

The museum prepares triennial strategic plans and annual operating plans for ministerial approval in accordance with the ANMM Act. In addition, a charter of operations was prepared and published in response to the Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Directions for the Arts policy. The minister receives bi-annual reports on governance and strategic meetings and the chairman and the director attend annual meetings with the minister to review these. A senior departmental representative attends all council meetings as an observer; and copies of both draft and final minutes are forwarded to both the minister and the department. The museum is also subject to the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 (CAC Act) and, in addition to its regular annual reporting obligations to the minister and the parliament, also lodges a CAC Act compliance report with both the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts and the Minister for Finance and Deregulation. All museum staff are aware of the importance of good governance and governance is a standing item on the agenda for the executive management group's fortnightly meetings.

01 the year in review statutory information requirements

freedom of information There were no requests under the Freedom of Information Act 1982. The museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FOI officer is Russell Smylie, phone 02 9298 3619, email rsmylie@anmm.gov.au.

judicial decisions and reviews by outside bodies There were no judicial decisions that affected the museum during the period under review. There were also no reports on museum operations by the Auditor-General, a parliamentary committee or the Commonwealth Ombudsman.

effects of ministerial directions The museum received no formal notification or ministerial directions during the reporting period. The National Code of Practice for the Construction Industry, the Commonwealth Procurement and Cost Recovery Guidelines, and the Foreign Exchange Policy continue to apply to the museum by virtue of notices issued in preceding reporting periods.

indemnities & insurance premiums for officers No current or former officer has been given any indemnity and there are no agreements to give any. Normal directors and officers insurance is carried through Comcover and the annual premium was $3,496.30.

occupational health and safety The museum has comprehensive and compliant health and safety management arrangements affirming its commitment to provide and maintain a working environment that is safe for employees, is without risk to their health and provides adequate facilities for their welfare at work. This commitment also extends to the museum's volunteers, contractors and visitors. The OH&S committee met six times. The committee includes elected staff representatives from three designated work areas; both they and their deputies have received appropriate training. Regular workplace inspections occurred and staff have access to ergonomic assessments as well as free screen-based vision testing and influenza shots. Outdoor staff are provided with protective clothing, sunglasses and sunscreen while workshop staff are given biannual hearing tests.

OH&S is included in the site induction given to all new employees, volunteers and contractors. Online hazard identification and accident and incident databases have been established to facilitate notification and remedial action. There were no incidents reportable under section 68 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 1991. There were five claims for compensation by staff and 13.8 staff days were lost due to injury.

environment protection and biodiversity The museum does not administer any legislation nor has any appropriations directly related to the principles of ecologically sustainable development. However, its sole budgeted outcome is increased knowledge, appreciation and enjoyment of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maritime heritage which carries environmental implications. Environmental issues are now considered a natural and integrated part of the land and water-based operations of the museum. The museum's environmental management policy expresses its commitment to minimising the environmental impact of its operations. The environmental management system retained its AS/NZ ISO 14001:2004 accreditation following a surveillance audit during the reporting period. Targets relating to waste streams and reduced consumption of water and electricity were achieved. The museum is also fully committed to sustainable development, and proposed site developments currently in the planning stage will ultimately comply with the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

HM Bark Endeavour replica voyages The Endeavour unit planned and executed a 14-week sailing plan (11 August-22 October 2008) of five voyages along Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eastern seaboard visiting Brisbane for the annual Riverfestival, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, and Newcastle for the National Maritime Festival. The voyages attracted 196 participants over the five legs, 98% of capacity. The ship voyaged 2,612 nautical miles (86% of these under sail only). Opening to the public in major and regional ports is one of the museum's primary outreach programs. Endeavour was open for 17 days in the four ports visited, with a total of 17,352 visitors (or an average of 1,021 visitors per day) coming on board the vessel, and many more viewing the ship from the wharves. Merchandise sales grossed $48,061 including GST (average $2,287 per day). In addition, 180 new volunteers were added to the regional volunteer program as a result of the visits to these four ports. Media interest was strong in all ports visited, with front-page coverage in local newspapers when the vessel arrived in each port, and subsequent stories throughout the visit. There was extensive coverage on regional and national radio.

Australia Day Once again HMB Endeavour participated in harbour activities on Australia Day 2009, hosting a sail day for museum Members. Endeavour took out line honours in the annual Tall Ships Race. maintenance Regular maintenance work to preserve the Endeavour replica is carried out throughout the year. In May to June 2009 when the vessel was closed to the public for works, museum visitors could access the wharf and view traditional skills employed by a team of shipwrights, riggers, engineer, sail-maker and sailing crew. The fore and main top masts, tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;gallants and yards were brought down, scrapped, oiled or painted; plumbing systems were overhauled; and shipwright work was carried out in the waist area. Endeavour's entire suit of sails was checked and repaired; parts of the upper deck were re-caulked; the 18th-century deck areas were repainted; and all artefacts were overhauled.

public and community programs The museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s range of visitor programs continues to grow as we welcome new and diverse audiences through our doors. In addition to complementing a strong exhibitions schedule, our calendar of public programs this year has celebrated visiting vessels; entertained family groups; commemorated important

anniversaries; honoured maritime achievements; encouraged discussion and debate; and generally strengthened connections with the museum’s public and partners. family programs Family activities introduce young people to the museum’s themes and exhibitions, and the past year has seen an imaginative variety of entertaining programs involving craft, exploration, play, music, dance, special tours and performance events. Our Kids on Deck weekend and holiday programs enjoyed a re-branding, incorporating a new mascot (Deckster), and our themed Mini Mariners program for preschoolers grew in popularity. H/etwor/d returned in January and there was a feast of workshop-based, hands-on activities including body tattooing, log drumming, weaving, stick dancing and carving associated with our Vaka Moana: Voyages of the Ancestors exhibition. Special events included pirate treasure hunts, a very successful Charles Darwin roaming character, themed activities for all the major exhibitions, and an end-of-year show for the under-fives featuring Captain Bandanna and Splash the Mermaid. visiting vessels, special events The CSIRO research vessel Southern Surveyor berthed at the museum in September and was open every day for free tours led by museum volunteer guides. Over 500 general visitors and 145 students toured in booked school groups, and we hosted two related talks for Members, a media event and a CSIRO family day. The Lithuanian yacht LTU 1000 Ambersail broke its voyage here, celebrating 1,000 years of Lithuanian heritage and culture. One of our most unusual visiting vessels was a six-metre guitar-shaped boat custombuilt to feature in ARIA award-winning singer Josh Pyke’s 36

hit video-clip Make You Happy. The performer sailed it to the museum where it was hauled out and displayed on the museum forecourt. In August ‘Lima, City of Kings' - a Peruvian cultural and gastronomic festival - attracted more than 5,000 people to the museum in a day full of colour, culture and cuisine. Over 250 children and their families participated in associated children's activities including Spanish and English storytelling. Two extraordinary adventures were showcased by personal appearances: solo rower Alex Bellini arrived in Australia after trying to cross the Pacific Ocean unassisted, spending nearly 10 months at sea and rowing more than 18,000 kilometres. Kayakers James Castrission and Justin Jones presented the story of their record-breaking voyage across the Tasman Sea in their custom-built kayak, Lot 41. inclusive programs Programs for special needs groups included touch tours of the Vaka Moana exhibition for people with vision impairment; Auslan-interpreted guided tours of the museum for people with hearing difficulties; and the Flags Ahoy creative art program to mark International Day of people with Disability.

education programs The museum's education programs continue to generate new audiences and partnerships as well as repeat visitation. New and existing programs and resources support our exhibitions and vessels and open new pathways to knowledge. A diverse range of curriculum-focused programs ensures visiting students and teachers are informed, challenged, entertained and encouraged in their learning. school programs School programs and resource material were produced for the major temporary exhibitions. Previews introduced teachers to the exhibition Charles Darwin - Voyages and ideas that shook the world. A raft of educational resources was generated for it, and for the travelling exhibition Joseph Banks and the flora of the Australian east coast. They included tours, workshops, student supplements in education magazines and special teacher previews. Educational material was also developed for the HMB Endeavour replica voyages to ports in Queensland and northern New South Wales, and a schools program was implemented for the visit of CSIRO research vessel Southern Surveyor. We undertook a review and expansion of the museum’s OH&S Risk Assessment policies as they related to such visits. The national schools competition organised in conjunction with the Mermaid archaeological project culminated in January 2009, putting two students and a teacher from Bega High School, NSW, on the water to help the museum find the 1829 wreck site of Phillip Parker King’s HMCS Mermaid off the Queensland coast. Other special education-related events are listed in Appendix 2. adult learning Adult programs included a series of new cruise forums, our special programs that combine exhibition visits, lectures and on-the-water tours. They related to the anniversaries of museum vessel Kra/Ts Operation Jaywick; the US Great White Fleet centenary, and our exhibition The last RoRos farewelling the working harbour. Collectors' Sunday associated with our exhibition Trash or Treasure? Souvenirs oftravelwas a great success. A lecture by author Keiko Tamura and viewing of personal items of memorabilia from the Japanese \Nar Brides exhibition was attended by two of the brides whose items are on display. Programs associated with Charles Darwin - voyages and ideas that shook the world included a special guided

tour for Seniors Week, and a series of lectures under the title ‘Happy Birthday Mr Darwin’, with contributions by exhibition curator Dr Nigel Erskine, Richard Neville from the Mitchell Library, and Dr Brett Summerell from the Royal Botanic Gardens. To mark the International Year of Astronomy the museum presented a Heritage Week lecture on ‘Celestial navigation past and present’ by Captain of HMB Endeavour replica, Ross Matson, including a viewing of navigational instruments from the Navigators - defining Australia display. Specialised tours of the museum for groups making specific requests, such as community service organisations, were also made available.

Vaughan Evans Library 2008-2009 has been a year of significant behindthe-scenes changes for the library. Reorganisation of the collection occupied staff and closed the library for several months for the installation of an electronic compactus for book storage, resulting in improved physical accessibility of the book shelves and security for our collection. A small but growing digital archive of library resources using files from books, journals, registers and all the back issues of the museum’s quarterly journal Signals was developed in conjunction with software solution company Smedia in Melbourne. Utilising the Active Magazine interface, it enables web-based OCR text searching and browsing of these resources. Major acquisitions for the period were specialist maritime newspapers Daily Commercial News 1957-1960 and Lloyd's List 1896-1900 on microfilm. The library also extended its online resources to include the ‘Find My Past’ family history site. The librarians organised regular library tours for undergraduate and postgraduate library and information students and family history groups. Regular library induction and refresher tours were conducted for museum staff, and a series of new guides to library resources were produced for the revised museum intranet which went live at the end of June.

venue hire and catering The global financial crisis began to impact on venue revenue from late 2008. Nine events were cancelled due to the economic uncertainty, including a Christmas cocktail party booked for 500 guests in the North Wharf Marquee. This financial caution extended to the bridal marketwith a downturn in wedding bookings for the autumn season. A total of 182 events were held in

the year, 59 fewer than the previous financial year. Two large corporate family days were held during November and December 2008: the Network 10 Family Day with 300 guests and the Optus Family Day with 350 guests. Activities were organised by the museum’s visitor services staff, including arts and craft, theatre performances and treasure hunts. Among a number of marketing initiatives, Summer Sailing Packages were designed in consultation with Sydney by Sail and Bayleaf Catering to target corporate team-building activities. Clients were invited for an afternoon of sailing followed by drinks and canapes in the Terrace Room to showcase this product. In conjunction with our caterer and operator of our Yots Cafe, Bayleaf Catering, we hosted the Meetings and Events Association (M EA) Christmas party for 400 event professionals. We also offer biannual opportunities for TAFE College of Event Management students to visit the museum for a forum and site inspection of the venues operation.

the store Once again the Store has broken its own record with the highest-ever yearly sales figures. Sales of themed merchandise relating to the exhibitions Trash or Treasure? Souvenirs of Travel, Vaka Moana - Voyages of the Ancestors, and Charles Darwin - Voyages and ideas that shook the world exhibitions were all above budgeted expectations. Off-site sales of merchandise during FI M B Endeavour replica’s visit to Queensland and northern New South Wales exceeded $48,000. Product development continues to expand with a range of products and clothing featuring images from the museum’s collection and exhibitions, including a new collection to celebrate FIMAS Vampire’s 50th birthday. Online shopping continues to grow, with over 1,000 products now available for purchase online. The wholesale arm has also increased, selling museum products and publications to other organisations, and supporting the museum’s travelling exhibition program by providing related merchandise to host venues.

Sydney By Sail Sydney By Sail is a successful commercial enterprise operated from the museum waterfront by former Olympian Matt Flayes. His yacht charter company is highly regarded in the tourism industry and offers short sails on the harbour and overnight cruises as well as sailing courses and corporate sailing. It benefits the museum not just by its commercial return but by giving our visitors the opportunity to extend their museum experience onto the water, so that the museum becomes their gateway to the experience of sail and Sydney Harbour.

acquisitions The museum's collection continues to be enriched by the research, experience and judgement of our curators. The list of selected acquisitions to the National Maritime Collection that appears in Appendix 3, and the list of donors to the collection in Appendix 4, reveal the diversity of the areas covered by our holdings. See also the remarks in the director’s overview.

maritime archaeology The museum’s successful archaeological research project, to find the 1829 wreck site and remains of Phillip Parker King’s colonial survey vessel HMCS Mermaid on a reef south of Cairns, north Queensland, has been noted in the director's overview. The project operated from two Cairns-based vessels, Nimrod Silentworld and Spoilsport belonging to the project sponsor John Mullen of the Silentworld Foundation (part of Silentworld Ltd, an Australian-based shipping company). Volunteers from Silentworld Foundation assisted this museum’s trained archaeologists, and a special mention is due to Bega High School students Megan Blacker and Alice Lafferty and their teacher Elaine Cozens, selected in a national competition to assist with our in-the-water surveys. The site was recorded in detail with cameras and metal detectors and a small amount of material was removed (under permit) for closer laboratory investigation. Final reports are in the process of being written and the physical evidence is being checked against the historical accounts. The wreck site has been protected under the Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976. The expedition also undertook a brief two-day inspection of the site of FI M B Endeavours 1770 stranding at Endeavour Reef to confirm its current state and update its location using modern GPS.

In February this year, the section hosted Ms Zainab Tahir, an International Fellow from Flinders University, who works for the Indonesian Ministry for Marine Affairs and Fisheries. During her two-week placement (16-28 February) she completed a number of technical drawings of artefacts recovered from the FIMCS Mermaid wreck site. The team also undertook dives on sites of the Royal Shepherd at South Head, inspected museum vessels in the water, and inspected and cleaned the museum’s Heritage Pontoons.

USA Gallery The USA Gallery is the enduring legacy of a generous endowment, which was the USA’s bicentennial gift to Australia. Its purpose is to showcase the longstanding maritime links between the two culturally-related nations on either side of the Pacific Rim. The gallery occupies a unique place in the international museum world as a gallery in a national museum funded by another nation. The gallery was officially opened in 1992 by President George Bush (senior). A new exhibition, titled Great White Fleet US sea power on parade 1908, opened in the recently refurbished Alliance section of the USA Gallery. This was part of the celebrations commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Great White Fleet’s visit to Australia. A travelling version of this exhibition was prepared to appear in museums in Melbourne, Albany and Fremantle, We hosted the first USA Gallery Fellowship recipient, Michael Dyer from New Bedford Whaling Museum, for an eight-week residency. Michael’s research focused on the influence of whaling on the earliest AustralianAmerican relations and how this changed over the 19th century. He also examined how, from an American

perspective, the colonisation of Australia ensured a relatively stable English-speaking presence on the other side of the world. In May and June 2009 senior curator Paul Hundley attended the Council of American Maritime Museums’ annual meeting in Erie, Pennsylvania, where he promoted the USA Gallery Fellowship and announced the forthcoming fellowship in 2010. A number of institutions expressed interest in the program, indicating that there is a growing awareness of this unique study opportunity. He presented this museum’s concept for the redevelopment of its Trading Game interactive with international and inter-institutional support. Several museums expressed interest in participating either through intellectual support, financial support, or both.

Indigenous affairs Sarah Yu was contracted to continue the research and documentation of the museum’s extensive collection of over 1,000 ilma made by Bardi artist Roy Wiggan. lima are colourful sculptures of wood and twine used in dances, unique to the coastal Bardi people of north western Australia’s Kimberley region. The research had a particular focus on analysing audio and video tapes of interviews with Roy (completed by Dominique Sweeney in 2007). This ongoing project means that we will be able to adequately describe and identify each of the more than 1,000 ilma in the database, and attach the relevant audio/video files to each record. Sarah also provided biographical details of Roy Wiggan, his father Henry Wiggan and Billy Ah Choo, as well as a brief history of the collection and its donation, including an assessment of the collection's completeness and whether or not the objects were used in public performance. This project will provide a description of ilma in cultural terms, including their connection to country, ancestors and elders, and performance.

fleet The 1888 racing cutter Akarana and Victorian couta boat Thistle crewed by Fleet staff and volunteers represented the museum at the Gaffers Day regatta on Sydney Harbour in October. Thistle also represented the museum at the Balmain Regatta. On Australia Day our ex-RAN launch MB 172 played an important role in the Darling Harbour celebrations. With its sister ship MB 168 (Navy), MB 172 escorted the Naval Support Commander’s barge carrying the Governor of New South Wales, Professor Marie Bashir a c cvo, from Mosman Bay to Cockle Bay. Later the vessel conveyed a group of newly-naturalised Australians in the parade around Cockle Bay. Our ex-RAN patrol boat H MAS Advance carried the Australia Day Choir in the parade. On 26 February Advance, crewed by members of The Naval Reserve Association and Fleet staff, was the start-boat for the annual RANSA Regatta. The following week Advance formed a fitting backdrop at the former H MAS Rushcutter base for the Memorial to the Navy for all who had served at the base. The port and starboard generators on board Advance have recently been overhauled and cleaned, and our boilermakers have performed many minor steelwork repairs to ensure that the structural integrity and overall appearance of the vessel are maintained Ten vessels were slipped or docked during the year for hull surveys, maintenance and anti-fouling. Submarine HMAS Onslow and lightship CLS 4 Carpentaria were simultaneously docked in the inner Captain Cook Dock at Thales Garden Island during October/November 2008. Major hull preservation work was undertaken on both vessels and a full external hull survey revealed some minor deep pitting and

wastage on Carpentariaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underwater area, which was subsequently repaired. An internal survey of the external ballast and fuel tanks on Onslow was commenced while in dock and completed alongside at the museum. The condition of these tanks was generally found to be sound. On undocking, Onslow also underwent a successful inclining experiment to verify its intact stability. The ketch Kathleen Gillett was slipped in 2008 for a full preservation of its structure in preparation for the celebration of 60 years since she completed a circumnavigation of the world with Jack Earl and his crew. The ongoing maintenance and restoration of the timber vessels Bareki (a tug), Broome pearling lugger John Louis and the WWII commando raider Krait alongside the heritage pontoon has created a great deal of interest with the general public, who have observed

the work in progress and asked many questions of our shipwrights and volunteers. Krait, which is owned by the Australian War Memorial, is being gradually restored with the aid of archival photographs and sketches to recreate its wartime configuration. Our shipkeepers and boilermakers together with members of the HMAS Vampire Association worked throughout the year to prepare Vampire for the 50th anniversary of its commissioning into the RAN. Although the work is ongoing, Vampire looked spectacular during the recent celebrations in June 2009. One of the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shipwrights, Matt Dunn, made a study and working visit to Mystic Seaport in the heartland of US heritage vessel management. Fleet staff continue to provide guidance to visitors, members of the public and other museums on vessel conservation and operation.

capita! works Capital works planning and investment play a vital role in meeting the museum's future strategic needs. During this reporting period the section obtained development consent for the Eastern Improvements and Wharf 7 Northern Annexe projects, both of which represent strategic long-term revitalisation projects for the museum. We are currently preparing a business case to secure Eastern Improvements funding. This project revitalises the eastern face of the museum and includes a new public programs area, a new cafe, improved venues facilities, new commercial kitchen and improved backof-house facilities. The Northern Annexe to Wharf 7 will create additional storage, office space and muchneeded meeting rooms to service the requirements created by the museum's growth. An architectural plan for Wharf 7 vessels and the foyer display area, including improvements to lighting and environment, has also been developed. During this period the security office and waste storage facility, performance platform and Wharf 7 Gallery Annexe projects were completed. The platform has created a new performance space on the water, and this has already proved popular with school groups.

The Gallery Annexe provides additional workshop, storage and office areas. A mechanical services upgrade program is underway, which includes upgrading old or redundant plant that is at the end of its lifespan. The new plant will service the main museum building and Wharf 7. The upgrade will include new chillers that will be significantly more energy-efficient than the existing chillers.

facilities and support services The museum recognises the importance of maintaining and presenting its as-built assets at the highest possible standard to ensure that the National Maritime Collection is exhibited and stored under stable environmental conditions, and to provide a safe environment for staff to work in and for visitors to maximise their appreciation and enjoyment of Australia's maritime heritage. The development and implementation of the museum's Strategic Asset Management Plan 2007-2017 puts in place a detailed program of capital replacement and upgrading of our facilities and plant, ensuring that our assets will support the ongoing strategic objectives and future operational requirements of the museum. 51

During 2008-2009 collaboration between the ANMM and a number of overseas cultural institutions saw the development of a comprehensive set of initiatives to reduce energy usage and improve the sustainability of the museum and its collection. Major projects undertaken during the reporting period include: ■ retrofitting of lighting with energy-efficient LED and optical fibre systems ■ upgrading of building management and lighting controls systems ■ major upgrades to the central plant seawater cooling system ■ programmed replacement of the existing air conditioning chiller sets (which are approaching the end of their useful life) with high performance/energy efficient units is underway ■ continued improvements to the waste recycling program, which have seen an increase to 74.1 tonnes (71%) from a total 104.2 tonnes of waste diverted from landfill As the activities of this section interact with all areas of the museum, we are extremely mindful of our responsibilities under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 1991 that derive from this interaction. An ongoing commitment to OH&S and an effective hazard management program have contributed to this section’s continuing to achieve nil time lost due to accidents by staff or contractors during the reporting period.

information and communications technology (ICT) Audiovisuals and exhibition lighting ICT staff provided invaluable support to the museum by supplying and installing audiovisuals and exhibition lighting for our temporary exhibitions and for travelling exhibitions while on display at the museum. Projects undertaken by ICT staff to support the museum’s information needs included: ■ set up a second VMWare server and continued with the ANMM virtualisation process ■ commenced server disaster recovery failover testing using VMWare

The staff turnover rate was 10.38% in the 2008-09 financial year compared to 5.8% in the previous year. The museum's revised performance management scheme has been implemented for the year 2009 and an agreement has been reached that the current scheme will be reviewed in mid to late 2009. Four new human resource policies were introduced: ‘Superannuation during LWOP policy', ‘Privacy procedures’, ‘Disability action plan’ and ‘Salary sacrifice’. The ‘Workplace harassment and bullying procedures' policy and ‘Recruitment and selection policy' were also updated. Further changes to the functionality of the Aurion payroll software have been examined with a view to extending automated services to staff. Management has been regularly provided with human resource management advice and data so workforce requirements can be assessed and workforce planning strategies put in place.

The 12th ANMM Staff Sailing Regatta was held in May 2009. This is an annual three-hour team-building activity that takes place on Sydney Harbour on yachts generously supplied by Sydney By Sail, who also supply skippers as required. Yachts are crewed along branch and sections lines, and prizes awarded at an after-hours social function. key training and development initiatives Selected staff attended in-house training in ‘Safe Working in Confined Spaces’ (a refresher course). APS staff and managers attended in-house ‘Continuous Improvement Workshops’. Both were assessed as being effective. Staff also undertook work-related training courses, seminars and conferences to further develop their skills and knowledge and improve their work performance for the benefit of the museum. Volunteer training is reported in the next section. productivity gains Productivity gains flowed from improvements in the use of information technology and greater acceptance and use of the Aurion Employee Self Service functions to APS staff, such as electronic payslips and staff maintaining their own payroll deductions. Other gains included: ■ the implementation of a Performance Management Plan ■ streamlined work practices and procedures ■ commitment to obtain lowest airfares when travelling »

industrial democracy The museum’s Joint Consultative Council consisting of three management representatives and three employee-elected representatives met on four occasions in the last financial year to discuss a wide range of issues including financial and human resource planning, workplace diversity, occupational health and safety, work organisation and structures, and general employee issues. workplace diversity policy The museum has nine staff who can speak languages other than English, representing 8% of APS staff in the last financial year. This figure has again exceeded the target of 4 % set by the Performance Indicators for Objective 3 of the ANMM 2003-2006 Workplace Diversity Program. The Workplace Diversity Committee consisting of two management representatives and two staff representatives also met to discuss workplace diversity issues, including cultural, disability and access issues at the museum. To assist staff to balance work and family responsibilities the museum’s policy is that meetings should not be scheduled before 9:30 am and should conclude by 5 pm. staffing overview As at 30 June 2009, staff employed under the Public Service Act 1999 totalled 120 (89 ongoing full-time, 17 ongoing part-time, 11 non-ongoing full-time and three non-ongoing part-time).

Visitor comments book

marketing A major customer service initiative during the past year has been to install interactive wayfinding kiosks in various locations throughout the museum. We believe that this is a first in Australia and has significantly improved the ability of visitors to navigate the complex museum site. Marketing for Vaka Moana - Voyages of the Ancestors and associated events and activities concentrated on promoting a sense of liveliness, with an emphasis on a living cultural experience’. Advertising included large metrolites at CBD and inner-city bus stops, plus major metropolitan press and local press in areas with high Pacific Islander representation. Avant cards and postcards were distributed to community organisations, churches and migrant centres. Charles Darwin - Voyages and ideas that shook the world received excellent visitation - particularly pleasing considering the competition of Darwinrelated exhibitions and public programs around the country. Major Sydney metropolitan press advertising was augmented by print media and online ads in the scientific publications Cosmosand New Scientist,

with excellent results. Institutions including Sydney University and the Royal Botanic Gardens cooperated to produce a joint postcard featuring their respective Darwin-related talks and seminars. Our ever-popular children’s interactive summer program Wetworld - whacky water fun continued for its eighth consecutive year. A vibrant new graphic identity was produced, incorporating environmental themes and promoting water-saving activities. The new identity featured in all print marketing and school holiday advertising, the latter also translated into Chinese for the community newspaper to target the city’s large Asian demographic. HMB Endeavour replica’s tour to Brisbane, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie and Newcastle was an outstanding success. Ads placed in all newspapers within a wide arc surrounding these regional centres achieved excellent results. A3 posters were distributed to all community and tourist centres well in advance of the vessel’s arrival. Potential visitors were also reached via Brindabella Airline’s new in-flight magazine Redinflight.

media The museum had another strong year in the news with 1,056 stories recorded across all media - print, radio, television and the internet - representing an increase of 10.5% on the previous year. The biggest rise was in the number of stories on the internet, up by 60 to 161 (an increase of 60%). The majority of these appeared on the websites of established print media and the ABC. There were also increases in the number of stories on radio and television, but a slight decline for traditional print media. Appendix 8 lists staff media appearances. Most newsworthy was HMB Endeavour replica, with interest focusing on her voyages in August to October 2008. In all, Endeavour was the subject of 184 stories in the year, or 17.5% of all stories about the museum. Australia-wide publicity greeted the museum’s off-shore expedition in January when it located the site of the 1829 shipwreck of H MCS Mermaid off the coast of north Queensland. The discovery and identification of this elusive wreck site was reported in 82 news stories, many of them live radio interviews from the successful search vessels at sea. The popular exhibition Trash or Treasure? Souvenirs of travel also drew a lot of media attention - a total of 74 stories across all media. Curator Michelle Linder was invited to talk about the exhibition on radio programs across the country, and it created a good opportunity for talk-back radio presenters to chat with their listeners on a familiar subject. Two episodes of ABC TV’s popular Collectors program, filmed on location at the museum, went to air in prime viewing time on successive Fridays in July 2008 to national audiences estimated at one million viewers.

Over the two evenings presenter Andy Muirhead gave an overall look at the museum and the Welcome Wall; Gordon Brown focused on the floating collection; Niccole Warren looked at the Bateaux Jouets temporary exhibition; and Professor Adrian Franklin examined the museum’s historical swimwear collection. The museum’s two mystery objects - a ship surgeon’s tooth key (for pulling teeth, 1830s) and a sailmaker's horn (for storing needles, 1870) - mystified the panel.

Members Over the past financial year membership has decreased slightly, although from a historical perspective overall numbers remain strong. Membership in the household category fell by 7% over the same period last year, while individual membership has increased by almost 9%. This reflects the situation of families struggling in the current economic climate and the global recession’s impact on discretionary spending. Our Members events program continues to promote and interpret Australia’s maritime history. This year has offered many opportunities - sometimes to respond promptly to breaking news in the maritime world, for example the controversial finding of the wreck of HMAS Sydney. Ted Graham, chairman of the Finding Sydney Foundation, and maritime archaeologist Dr Mike McCarthy brought our Members and guests the story, and director Rob Macauly told us about making his ABC documentary The hunt for HMAS Sydney. These joined the diverse range of seminars, harbour cruises, family activities and exclusive special events we offered. A comprehensive list of the many programs organised during the past year is contained in Appendix 2.

Our mini-Members were kept entertained by a range of family-friendly activities including pirate tours, ferry cruises, breakfasts on HMB Endeavour, parties for new Members, and our biggest family event of the year, the Australia Day picnic in the forecourt of the museum to view the Darling Harbour fireworks.

The Welcome Wall Every year we see further growth in the Welcome Wall - the museum’s enduring tribute to the more than six million people who have crossed the world to make Australia their home. The wall now comprises 53 bronze panels stretching along our northern harbour front. Two unveiling ceremonies were held this year, adding five new panels and 1,949 names, making a total of 20,919 names representing 132 countries of origin. The top 10 countries registered during this period were England, Italy, the Netherlands, Ireland (including Northern Ireland), Scotland, Germany, Greece, Poland, Malta and Hungary. The theme for the October 2008 unveiling of 779 names was sport, in recognition of recent Australian success at the Beijing Olympics. Former champion Olympian swimmer and Latvian migrant John Konrads spoke in front of 1,500 guests, and jazz and Latin band Viva entertained the crowds. The second unveiling, held in May 2009, was performed by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts, the Hon Peter Garrett a m mp. At this ceremony, three panels and 1,170 names were unveiled, and over 2,000 guests were entertained by Ultimo Public School and musical duo Gino Pengue and Ross Maio. SBS provided generous in-kind support. Sixteen Welcome Wall ads were shown on SBS TV from 30 November 2008-11 February 2009 (during programs including the popular series Who do you think you are?, World News, /As it Happened and Global Village), leading to a large upsurge in Welcome Wall enquiries and registrations.

volunteers Our invaluable volunteers contributed across a broad range of museum activities, from guided tours of galleries and vessels, to ship maintenance, conservation and restoration, and those recurring mail-outs and office duties. Achievements for 2008-2009 included: the launch of our new volunteers website; registration and training of new volunteers for the museum; ongoing training of volunteers for temporary and permanent exhibitions (41 for Bateaux Jouets; 34 for Vaka Moana-,

68 for Charles Darwin); and the training of 70 volunteers for the visit of CSIRO RV Southern Surveyor in September 2008. Volunteers assisted with Australia Day 2009 celebrations, HMAS Vampire’s 50th birthday celebrations, and two Welcome Wall unveilings. They also provided invaluable assistance by guiding on board HMB Endeavour replica during the ship’s visits to Brisbane, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie and Newcastle. Highlights included the presentation of Service Awards at the Annual Volunteers Lunch in December 2008 attended by Federal Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts, the Hon Peter Garrett am mp. At the same event the winner of the award for best article published in our volunteers quarterly journal All Hands - Ian Wood for his article ‘18 Footers Nostalgia’ - was also announced. In its second year, the award is judged by Signals editor and publications manager Jeffrey Mellefont. Volunteers attended a special talk at the museum by the world’s fastest man on water, Ken Warby, in October 2008. Other achievements during the year included: training of mentors for AN M M volunteer tour guides; volunteer assessment of the museum’s OH&S and Child Protection Policies; and the election of Volunteer Representative Committee 2009-2011. It comprises three management and four volunteer-elected representatives, and held four meetings in 2008 to 2009. A Volunteer Training Committee was formed to assist with tour guide training material and content. Other training included customer service; tour techniques; mentor program; workplace diversity and guiding for different cultures; radio and emergency; and training for the museum galleries, submarine HMAS Onslow, destroyer HMAS Vampire and HMB Endeavour replica. work experience placements The section also assists with work experience placements. During this financial year, the museum received 27 applications from secondary school students, placing four students, and 34 applications from tertiary students, placing 13.

The global economic downturn put a brake on cash sponsorship, but we saw a significant increase of in-kind sponsor commitments. Notwithstanding the challenging

Heidi Riedererfrom this museum’s design section won awards in two categories of Museums Australia’s Multimedia and Publication Design Awards (MAPDA), which showcase the breadth of design talent in

times, the museum received significant support from the Silentworld Foundation in mounting the maritime archaeological expedition to find the wreck site of Mermaid, detailed elsewhere in this report. The major refurbishment of the museum’s submarine FIMAS Onslow was greatly assisted by the sponsorship of Defence Maritime Services (DMS), which supplied tugs and personnel, and AKZO Nobel assisting with paints. Novotel Rockford continued to support the museum, providing accommodation for couriers accompanying our two major international exhibitions Vaka Moana - Voyages of the Ancestors and Charles Darwin - Voyages and ideas that shook the world. We have been gratified by the continuing support of our longstanding sponsorship partners: Lloyd's Register Asia, Tenix, Raytheon Australia, Blackmores, James Squire, Sydney by Sail, Coral Sea Wines and Forrest Training. We thank them for their endorsement of AN MM’s vision and values.

museums. Heidi’s awards were for Best Invitation and Best Information Brochure, both of them for our international exhibition Bateaux Jouets - toy boats from Paris 1850-1950. The judges commented on her sense of fun while clearly communicating the content of the exhibition with broad demographic appeal to adults and children. This year 406 entries were received from 103 national and international museums. We explored advances in light emitting diode (LED) lighting to showcase The Charlotte Medal and swimsuits in our Exposed! The story of swimwear exhibitions. LEDs present many advances over traditional light sources including lower energy consumption, a longer lifespan, improved robustness and smaller size. LED lighting assists the design team to meet the museum’s objectives in relation to economic and environmental sustainability. The design team is committed to expanding its use and knowledge of stateof-the-art technology and equipment. The design team also prototyped, designed and created a more durable stainless steel, collapsible, lightweight, flat-packed, light-filled, compact travelling exhibition showcase, which has been used for the first time in Exposed! The story of swimwear. These unique showcases have created savings for the museum, minimising the need to build new showcases when the exhibition travels as well as reducing our carbon footprint.

A ustralian National

Audit Office INDEPENDENT A U D IT O R ’S REPORT To the M inister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts Scope I have audited the accom panying financial statements o f the Australian National Maritime M useum (the Museum) for the year ended 30 June 2009, which comprise: a Statement by Council Members; Income Statement; Balance Sheet; Statement o f Changes in Equity; Statement o f Cash Flows; Schedule o f Commitments; Schedule o f Contingencies; and Notes to and Forming Part o f the Financial Statements, including a Summary o f Significant Accounting Policies.

The Council Members’ Responsibility fo r the Financial Statements The Council members are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation o f the financial statements in accordance with Finance M inister’s Orders made under the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997, and Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian Accounting Interpretations. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation o f the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s Responsibility My responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with Australian National Audit Office Auditing Standards, which incorporate A ustralian Auditing Standards. These auditing standards require that I comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgem ent, including the assessment o f the risks o f material misstatem ent o f the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making these risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the M useum’s preparation and fair presentation o f the financial statements to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose o f expressing an opinion on the effectiveness o f the M useum’s internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness o f accounting policies used and the reasonableness o f accounting estimates made by Council members, as well as evaluating the overall presentation o f the financial statements.

I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.

Independence In conducting the audit, I have followed the independence requirements o f the Australian National Audit Office, which incorporate the requirements o f the Australian accounting profession. A uditor’s Opinion In my opinion, the financial statements o f the Australian National M aritime Museum: (a) have been prepared in accordance with Finance M inister’s Orders made under the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies A ct 1997, including Australian Accounting Standards; and (b) give a true and fair view o f the matters required by the Finance M inister’s Orders including the Australian National Maritime M useum’s financial position as at 30 June 2009 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended.

1 .1

Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements

The Financial Statements and notes are required by clause 1(b) of Schedule 1 to the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 and are a General Purpose Financial Report. The Financial Statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with: â&#x20AC;˘ Finance M inisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Orders (or FMOs) for reporting period ending on or after 1 July 2008; and â&#x20AC;˘ Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that apply for the reporting period. The Financial Report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is in accordance with historical cost convention, except for certain assets at fair value. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or the financial position. The Financial Report is presented in Australian dollars. Assets and liabilities are recognised in the Balance Sheet when and only when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow and the amounts of the assets or liabilities can be reliably measured. However, assets and liabilities arising under agreements equally proportionately unperformed are not recognised unless required by an Accounting Standard. Liabilities and assets that are unrealised are reported in the Schedule of Commitments and the Schedule of Contingencies. Revenues and expenses are recognised in the Income Statem ent when and only when the flow, consumption or loss of economic benefit has occurred and can be reliably measured. Consolidation and associated company The Financial Statements show information for the economic entity only; this reflects the consolidated results for the parent entity, the Australian National Maritime Museum, and its wholly-owned controlled entity, The Australian National Maritime Foundation. The results of the parent entity do not differ materially from the economic entity and have therefore not been separately disclosed. The Australian National Maritime Foundation is a company limited by guarantee. See note 19. The accounting policies of The Australian National Maritime Foundation are consistent with those of the museum and its assets, liabilities and results have been consolidated with the parent entity accounts in accordance with the Accounting Standards. All internal transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

Significant Accounting Judgement and Estimates

In applying the accounting policies listed in this note, judgem ent has been made as to the fair value that has significant impact on the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The fair value of land and buildings has been taken to be the market value of similar properties, whereas the buildings are purpose built and may in fact realise more or less in the market. No accounting assumptions or estim ates have been identified that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next accounting period. 1.3

New Accounting Standards

Adoption o f new Australian Accounting Standard Requirements No accounting standard has been adopted earlier than the application date as stated in the standard. No new accounting standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are applicable in the current period have had a material financial affect on the Australian National Maritime Museum. Future Australian Accounting Standard Requirements New standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations that are applicable to future periods have been issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board. It is estimated that adopting these pronouncements, when effective, will have no material impact on future reporting periods. 1 .4

Revenue

Revenue from Government The full amount of the appropriation for departmental outputs for the year is recognised as revenue. Other Types of Revenue Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract to provide the service. The stage of completion is determined according to the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated total costs of the transaction. Receivables for goods and services are recognised at the nominal amounts due less any provision for bad and doubtful debts. Collection of debts is reviewed at balance date. Provisions are made when collection of the debt is no longer probable.

Notes to and forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2009 1 .5

Gains

Sale of Assets Gain from disposal of non-current assets is recognised when control of the asset has passed to the buyer. Resources Received Free of Charge Resources received free of charge are recognised as gains when and only when a fair value can be reliably determined and the services would have been purchased if they had not been donated. Use of those resources is recognised as an expense. Contributions of assets at no cost of acquisition or for nominal consideration are recognised as gains at their fair value when the asset qualifies for recognition. 1 .6

Transactions by the Government as Owner

Equity Injections Amounts appropriated which are designated as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;equity injectionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for a year, less any formal reductions, are recognised directly in Contributed Equity in that year. 1 .7

Employee Benefits

Benefits Liabilities for services rendered by em ployees are recognised at the reporting date to the extent that they have not been settled. Liabilities for short-term employee benefits (as defined in AASB 119) and termination benefits due within 12 months of balance date are measured at their nominal amounts. The nominal amount is calculated with regard to the rates expected to be paid on settlement of the liability. All other employee benefit liabilities are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Leave The liability for employee benefits includes provision for annual leave and long service leave. No provision has been made for sick leave as all sick leave is non-vesting and the average sick leave taken in future years by em ployees is estimated to be less than the annual entitlement for sick leave. The leave liabilities are calculated on the basis of em ployeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; remuneration, including employer superannuation contribution rates to the extent that the leave is likely to be taken during service rather than paid out on termination. The non-current portion of the liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at 30 June 2009. In determining the present value of the liability, the museum has taken into account attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation.

03 financial statements

Notes to and forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2009 Superannuation Staff of the museum are members of the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS), the Public Sector Superannuation Scheme (PSS) or the PSS accumulation plan (PSSap). The CSS and PSS are defined benefit schemes and the PSSap is a defined contributions scheme. The liability for defined benefits is recognised in the financial statements of the Australian Government and is settled by the Australian Government in due course. The museum makes employer contributions to the employee superannuation schemes at rates determined by an actuary to be sufficient to meet the cost to the Government of the superannuation entitlements of the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employees. The museum accounts for the contributions as if they were contributions to defined contribution plans. 1 .8

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 which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits. The museum has no finance leases. Operating lease payments are expensed on a basis that is representative of the pattern of benefits derived from the leased assets. 1.9

Grants

The museum recognises grant liabilities as follows. Most grant agreements 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 where grant agreements are made without conditions to be monitored, liabilities are recognised on signing of the agreement. 1.1 0

Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include notes and coins held and any deposits in bank accounts with an original maturity of 3 months or less, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash is recognised at its nominal amount. 1 .1 1

Financial Assets

Classification of financial assets depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of recognition. The museum classifies its financial assets as loans and receivables. Loans and Receivables Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables and are included in current assets. Loans and receivables are measured at nominal cost less impairment. The museum has no loans.

Notes to and forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2009

1 .12

Financial Liabilities

The museum classifies its financial liabilities as other financial liabilities. Other Financial Liabilities Suppliers and other payables are classified as other financial liabilities and are recognised at their nominal amounts, being the amounts at which the liabilities will be settled. Liabilities are recognised to the extent that the goods and services have been received and irrespective of having been invoiced. 1.1 3

Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

Contingent liabilities and contingent assets are not recognised in the balance sheet but are reported in the relevant schedules and notes. They may arise from uncertainty as to the existence of a liability or asset or represent an asset or liability in respect of which the amount cannot be reliably measured. Contingent assets are disclosed when settlement is probable but not virtually certain and contingent liabilities are disclosed when settlement is greater than remote. 1.14

Acquisition of 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. Financial assets are initially measured at their fair value plus transaction costs where appropriate. Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised as assets and revenues, at their fair value at the date of acquisition. 1 .15

Property (Land and Buildings), and Infrastructure, Plant and Equipment

Asset Recognition Threshold Purchases of property, infrastructure, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the Balance Sheet, except for purchases costing less than $2,000, which are expensed in the year of acquisition other than where they form part of a group of similar items which are significant in total. Revaluations Land, buildings, plant and equipment are carried at fair value, being revalued with sufficient frequency such that the carrying amount of each asset is not materially different, at reporting date, from its fair value. The regularity of independent valuations depends upon the volatility of movements in market values for the relevant assets. Valuations undertaken in each year are at 30 June. Fair values for each class of assets are determined as shown below.

03 financial statements

Notes to and forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2009 Revaluation adjustments are made on a class basis. Any revaluation increment is credited to equity under the heading of asset revaluation reserve except to the extent that it reverses a previous revaluation decrement of the same asset class that was previously recognised through operating result. Revaluation decrements for a class of assets are recognised directly through operating result except to the extent that they reverse a previous revaluation increment for that class. Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the asset restated to the relevant amount. Under fair value, assets which are surplus to requirements are measured at their net realisable value. Depreciation and Amortisation Depreciable property, plant and equipment assets are written off to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using, in all cases, the straight line method of depreciation. Depreciation and amortisation rates, residual values and methods are reviewed at each reporting date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate. Depreciation and amortisation rates applying to each class of depreciable asset are based on the following useful lives: Leasehold land Buildings Infrastructure, Plant & Equipment

2009 105 years 22 years 3 -2 0 years

2008 105 years 22 years 3 -2 0 years

The National Maritime Collection is not depreciated because of its indefinite useful life. Impairment All assets were assessed for impairment at 30 June 2009. Where indications of impairment exist, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and impairment adjustment made if the a sset’s recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Where the future economic benefit of an asset is not primarily dependant on the asset’s ability to generate future cash flows, and the asset would be replaced if the museum were deprived of the asset, its value in use is taken at market appraisal. 1.1 6

Intangibles

Intangibles comprise software for internal use and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Software is amortised on a straight-line basis over its anticipated useful life. The useful lives of the museum’s software are 5 -1 0 years (2008: 5 -1 0 years).

Notes to and forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2009

1 .17

Inventories

Inventories held for resale by the museum store are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. 1.1 8

Taxation

The museum is exempt from all forms of taxation except fringe benefits tax and the goods and services tax (GST). Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST: • except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office; and • except for receivables and payables. 1 .19

Foreign Currency

Transactions denominated 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. Associated currency gains and losses are not material. 1 .2 0

Comparative Figures

Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in these financial statements where required. 1 .2 1

Rounding

Amounts are rounded to the nearest $1,000 except in relation to: • remuneration of Council members (note 12); • remuneration of senior executives (note 14); • remuneration of auditors (note 15); • assets held in trust (note 17); and • Australian National Maritime Foundation (note 19). 2.

ECONOM IC DEPENDENCY

The Australian National Maritime Museum is controlled by the Commonwealth of Australia and is dependent on revenues from Government for its continued existence and ability to carry out its normal activities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the financial instruments approximate their fair values. 1 6 (e )

Credit Risk

The museum is exposed to minimum credit risk as the majority of the loans and receivables are cash and deposits at call. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the risk that arises from potential default of a trade debtor. This amount is equal to the total receivable for goods and services (2009: $244,281 and 2008: $115,484). The museum has no significant exposures to any concentrations of credit risk and has policies and procedures which outline debt recovery techniques. The ageing of financial assets that are past due but not impaired is equal to the ageing of receivables and is stated in note 5(b).

Notes to and forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2009

1 6(f)

Liquidity Risk

The majority of the museum’s financial liabilities are trade creditors and prepayments received. The exposure to liquidity risk is based on the probability that the museum will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities. This risk is minimal due to appropriation funding and internal policies and procedures which ensure that there are appropriate resources to meet financial obligations. 1 6 (g ) Market Risk

The museum holds basic financial instruments that do not expose to the museum to ‘currency risk' or ‘other price risk’. The museum is exposed to ‘interest rate risk’ which arise from the investment in short term cash and deposits with fixed and floating interest rates. This amount is equal to the total of cash at bank and deposits at call (2009: $21,422,011 and 2008: $20,779,734). 1 7.

A SSETS HELD IN TR U S T

The museum has established a number of Trust accounts which are detailed below. Donations and bequests are received for specified purposes under formal trust arrangements. Moneys received are placed in a special bank account and expended on the specified projects in accordance with the terms of the trusts.

artworks, prints, photographs and posters Albumen photographic print of the SS Great Britain and Captain John Gray on a carte-de-visite The SS Great Britain was one of the favoured ships for bringing immigrants to Australia between 1852 and 1876, being fast, well organised and reasonably comfortable. The ship had an extensive and varied working life from its launching in 1843 through until it was scuttled off the Falkland Islands in 1937. It is now a museum ship in Bristol, England, drawing visitors from around the world. This cartede-visite is a rare piece of SS Great Britain history and that of her unfortunate captain John Gray, who disappeared from the ship in somewhat mysterious circumstances in 1872. Purchased from Australian Book Auctions Carte-de-visite photograph of George Tombs who drowned in the wreck of the Mary Lawson on Middleton Reef, Coral Sea in 1866 The wooden three-masted barque Mary Lawson was wrecked on Middleton Reef on the morning of 10 June 1866 during a voyage from Sydney to Shanghai with a cargo of coal. Four sailors who survived the wreck sailed 300 nautical miles westward in a small shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boat before landing near the Clarence River on the New South Wales coast. Upon their arrival in Sydney, the Colonial Government despatched HMS Falcon to search for other survivors on the isolated reef. Although the wreck was discovered on the eastern side of Middleton Reef there was no sign of the missing sailors. Purchased from Jonathan Hugh Dickson Dhamalay Marrangal Guya Radjuk (Sea Eagle Catching Barramundi), Alfred Walpay, 2007 This sculpture is made from eucalyptus wood and painted with natural ochres. The sea eagle is a totem of Walpay's mother, and the barramundi of his grandmother. The markings on each figure are exclusive to the Yirritja moiety and cannot be painted by others. Purchased from Mossenson Galleries Eight albumen photographs by Rev Dr George Brown from the voyage of the SS Moresbyto New Guinea and the Solomon Islands The Rev Dr George Brown (1835-1917) was active in Melanesia and Polynesia throughout the latter part of the 19th century. An outstanding photographer, his images combine a strong compositional sense with an eye for ethnographically or anthropologically interesting or significant subjects. Purchased from Jonathan Hugh Dickson

Movie poster The raider Emden, 1928 The black-and-white silent film Kreuzer Emden (Cruiser Emden) was written in 1926 by Louis Ralph, and released in Germany in 1926, in Japan in 1927, and in America in April 1928. It had a running time of 65 minutes. This poster was produced specifically for the American market where the title was changed to The Raider Emden. The battle between HMAS Sydney (I) and SMS Emden in November 1914 destroyed the Emden with the loss of many of its crew, while the captain, von Muller, was taken prisoner. This poster is a reminder of the importance of the event, albeit from a German point of view. Purchased from Jonathan Hugh Dickson Ninth plate ambrotype photograph of a crewman from HMS Curacoa HMS Curacoa was the fourth flagship of the Australia Station 1863-66 and is best known for its cruise among the islands of the South Pacific, showing the might of the British Royal Navy. At each location, studies of the inhabitants, flora and fauna were undertaken and many specimens were collected. This studio portrait brings a human context to the story of the Curacoa, detailing as it does a sailor in uniform of the period. Purchased from Jonathan Hugh Dickson Woven works by Harry (Sandra) Higgs, 2004 Tasmanian fibre works are fast becoming collector items. The mostly female artists continue to diversify their techniques, materials and products to a point where the works are collected for their artistic merit above any utilitarian use they may have. Sandra (Harry, Harri) Higgs is an Indigenous woman working in Tasmania using local materials to produce many forms and shapes. She uses creative weaving practices to make various shapes using combinations of coiling, twining and cross-stitch techniques. Purchased from Art Mob Pty Ltd

trophies, medals

An Act for the Erection of a Penitentiary House for the Confinement of Offenders..., 1812

The Charlotte Medal, 1.788 The Charlotte Medal is a silver medal or disk (believed to have been made from a surgeon’s silver ‘kidney dish’) engraved on both sides. It is recognised as being Australia’s earliest colonial artwork, and was probably engraved by Thomas Barrett, a convict thief and forger, on board the First Fleet convict transport Charlotte while the ship was anchored in Botany Bay between 20 and 26 January 1788. It was commissioned by the First Fleet’s principal surgeon John White, who was also the surgeon on board Charlotte during the voyage. Purchased with the assistance of the Australian Government through the National Cultural Heritage Account

An 1812 Act of the British Parliament for the erection of a Penitentiary House for the confinement of offenders convicted of transportable offences within the City of London and the County of Middlesex, and for making compensation to Jeremy Bentham for the non-performance of an agreement between Bentham and the Lord's Commissioners respecting the custody and maintenance of convicts. Purchased from Lesley Aitchison

manuscripts and publications A Royal Navy Select Committee Report on timber supply in 1770 In March 1771 a bill was brought before the British Parliament and a committee was established to examine the timber crisis and find solutions. The committee recommended the downsizing of the East India Company Fleet, an increase in the price of timber, and the increased sourcing of timber from overseas colonies and the Baltic states. Some authors have argued that the loss of the American colonies and the continuing timber crisis were instrumental factors in the establishment of a strategic settlement on the east coast of Australia in 1788. Purchased from Ten Pound Island Book Company

Handwritten letter from the crew of HMS Galatea to HRH the Duke of Edinburgh in 1868 after the attempted assassination of the Duke at Clontarf Beach, Sydney The attempted assassination of the second son of Queen Victoria on Australian soil in 1868 by an Irish dissident created much furore. Despite the Duke himself recommending leniency, the New South Wales government hanged the assassin Henry James O’Farrell within under a month. This handwritten letter from the crew of the Duke's ship, HMS Galatea, shows the respect given to the Duke both as their captain and as the Queen’s son. Purchased from Marion Chaffe The Missionary Herald, Vol. XXil, American Board of Foreign Missions, Boston, 1826 The Missionary Herald was the public published voice of The American Board for the Commissioners of Foreign Missions. It was established in 1821 and remained in circulation until the early 1950s. It reported on missionary activities in the Pacific seen through the zealous eyes of the missionaries. It had many detractors who accused it of being biased to an extreme - reporting in such a manner as to wring additional funds from well-meaning Christians in America and Europe. Purchased from Ten Pound Island Book Company

other Ship model HMS Beagle, 2008 This 1:48 scale model of HMS Beagle is an authoritative representation of one of the most famous vessels in Australia’s maritime history and an ideal tool for interpreting the story of surveying the Australian coast in the 19th century. It is the ship that carried Charles Darwin on his circumnavigation in 1831 to 1836 - a voyage that led Darwin to propose his theory of natural selection. Commissioned from Cutting Edge Models

Shellwork necklaces and bracelets, Lola Greeno, 2008 Lola Greeno is one of Australia's most respected Indigenous shell necklace and bracelet makers. With over 16 years of experience, Lola has experimented with many new ways of cleaning, polishing and finishing her work. Each of Lola’s pieces is unique and skilfully matches the available shells to set the pattern used. Small differences in the shells create new patterns, which can give outstanding results for collectors. Purchased from Panalysis Pty Ltd

donations 2008-2009 (donations approved by the director 1 July 200830 June 2009, Deed of Gift returned) Steven Adams Tie and port crock, Cockatoo Dockyard, 1991 As the largest of Sydney’s harbour islands, Cockatoo Island has a long history of European occupation, from 1839 when a convict prison was first established there, through a long stretch as a premier shipbuilding and dockyard facility, to its current status as a landmark harbour attraction. Ahiida Swimwear and Sports Apparel

Selection of Burqini™swimsuits The Burqini™ swimwear range is an Australian innovation designed by Aheda Zanetti to meet the needs of Muslim women who wish to be active in public while maintaining their modesty. The polyester/elastane swimsuits comply with Hijab - Muslim dress standards that require a woman’s hair, chest, arms and legs to be covered.

Philip Andrew Manuscript log written by an unidentified passenger whilst onboard the Dutch ship Australie on a voyage from Plymouth to Melbourne between 29 July and 26 October 1854 This diary recounts events encountered during a 1854 voyage from Plymouth to Melbourne on board the Australie, including severe gales and seasickness, as well as general day-to-day life on board.

Anna & Boy Woollen Mermaid swimsuit and selection from 2009 swimwear collection The low leg and modest silhouette of Anna & Boy's Woollen Mermaid swimsuit harks back to the original suit worn by Annette Kellerman. The traditionally heavy nature of the wool is broken up with transparent mesh panels to accentuate the female form. The 2009 women’s collection is up tempo and feminine in feel, with a modern prettiness that reinterprets the styles of a young Goldie Hawn or Britt Ekland for the modern beach babe. The men’s collection has a contemporary aesthetic that is a noticeable departure from standard Aussie surf culture, with an eclectic range of prints in unexpected 60s-style tennis shorts and Bermudas.

aussieBum Selection from aussieBum's 2009/2010 swimwear collection This range recalls those great summer days of the 60s and 70s, with traditional favourites such as retro square-cut shorts and 70s-style swim trunks set to make a splash on Australian and international beaches this summer.

Jill Cremer Swimming trophies, certificates, sashes and other memorabilia relating to Victorian champion swimmer William Cavanagh (1908-1995) This material documents the swimming career of William Cavanagh during the 1920s and 1930s. Cavanagh competed against Frank Beaurepaire to win the Victorian 220 yards championship in 1925.

William J Heath

A collection of papers and personal records of the Seamen's War Pensions and Allowances Committee, kept by William (Bill) Heath as nominee of the ACTU and seagoing unions, 1974-1987 This first-hand record gives a rare insight into the participation of Australian merchant seamen in WWII and how they were affected by it. Merchant seamen were not covered by the same Pensions Act as naval personnel and those who claimed to have suffered injury as a result of wartime service had to bring their claims to the Seamen’s War Pensions and Allowances Committee. The McGirr Inquiry into the Needs of Australian Mariners 1989 was held to examine this situation and its recommendations considerably improved their position. Hotel Bondi Swim

Woollen Mermaid swimsuit and selection from 2009 swimsuit collection Hotel Bondi Swim specialises in printed swimwear with textile prints designed in Bondi for girls all over the world. Designers Fern Levack and Damion Fuller are passionate ambassadors of the Bondi lifestyle and each bikini is designed as a unique piece of art that expresses the best of this eclectic, creative, laid-back beachside suburb.

Both ships were finally located in March 2008. Jodie Hutchison

Two souvenirs of HMAS Sydney (IV)'s visit to Cebu Island The Royal Australian Navy undertakes annual joint naval exercises with the Philippine Navy and during shore leave it is common for sailors to purchase local souvenirs.

Woollen Mermaid swimsuit and selection from 2009 swimwear range

Netherlands Defence Academy Pennant, HMAS Barwon HMAS Barwon was built in Sydney for duties in WWII but was not commissioned until after the war had ended. It was one of more than 151 vessels built for anti-submarine convoy duties in various allied navies, especially the Royal Navy and the Royal Canadian Navy.

Embracing Annette Kellerman’s title of ‘Australian mermaid’, Seafolly’s Woollen Mermaid swimsuit takes inspiration from the ocean depths, its coral textures and seagrass. The bodice is embellished with iridescent bugle beads and layers of overlapping fabric to create a texture reminiscent of the scales of the mythical mermaid. The sheer mesh and plunging V-shaped backless silhouette enable their ‘Diving Venus’ to shock and surprise admirers. Seafolly’s summer collection takes inspiration from bygone eras - sheen-onsheen glamorous flirty frills a la Moulin Rouge and the revival of the retro skirted pant.

Commissioning pennant and commissioning order from the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Attack class patrol boat HMAS Bombard This pennant was presented to the vessel’s first commanding officer, Lieutenant Robert Hugh Gyton. The ceremonies for commissioning and decommissioning a warship call for the hoisting of the ensign, jack and commissioning pennant as the first act after the new captain reads the commissioning order, and as the final act before the last captain declares the ship decommissioned. The commissioning order was presented to Lieutenant Robert Hugh Gyton by Rear Admiral Crabb.

In 2003 the SIEV X National Memorial Project team coordinated a national schools art project in which thousands of high-school students across Australia learned about the SIEV X maritime disaster and responded with designs for a national memorial. These concept drawings and paintings on paper and textile represent a selection of entries to the Young People’s Art Collaboration, commemorating the 353 lives lost when the refugee boat sank in international waters on 19 October 2001.

Trackerjack Australasia Pty Ltd Watersun Woollen Mermaid swimsuit and selection from the Watersun 2009 swimwear collection The Watersun Woollen Mermaid swimsuit reinvents the one-piece.

The summer collection focuses on contemporary glamour with seductive swimsuits and dynamic coordinates. Innovative detailing with splicing and seaming creates a mixture of elegant and playful silhouettes.

appendix 19 volunteer speakers panel

The volunteer speakers panel is a group of museum volunteers who deliver talks to community service clubs and other organisations on the museum and its activities. The number of talks by panel members was steady over the last financial year, with 19 visits overall. The panel further expanded its activities, securing speaking engagements at new organisations and clubs including historical societies and yacht clubs. These are areas the panel hopes to expand further over the next 12 months.

1 Organisation

A new PowerPoint presentation was developed entitled The Australian National Maritime Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place in tracing your family historyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The presentation outlines the resources held in the Vaughan Evans Library and has proved popular with groups booking a speaker.
