GIPPSLAND REGIONAL MARITIME MUSEUM
|
| The Gippsland Regional Maritime Museum at Port Albert is not just a static museum and archival library research facility. The museum hosts a number of special events and educational activities throughout the year, including book launches, special ceremonies to welcome a new exhibit or achievement, and open days to commemorate significant dates and events. |
| BOOK LAUNCH
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AUSTRALIAN SHIPWRECKS |
On a glorious sunny day in September 2006, Mr Peter Ryan, the Leader of the Nationals and local MP, launched the Encyclopedia of Australian Shipwrecks by local author Peter Stone. The massive book of 1184 pages listing over 15,000 ship entries is especially dedicated to the volunteers at the Port Albert Museum, and indeed all maritime museum volunteers, .... "who continue to devote their time in order to ensure a continuance of knowledge and appreciation for our maritime history". |
