About Us
The Queensland Maritime Museum was founded in 1971 and is run by a self-funded voluntary
Association. It is situated on the banks of the Brisbane River at the southern end of South
Bank Parklands. The Museum contains extensive collections of historical maritime artefacts,
books, documents and photographs. The collection is displayed to the public in the galleries
and grounds of the Museum under the broad headings of Navigation, Lighthouses, Ship Models,
Marine Engines, Vessels, and the Dry Dock.
On behalf of members of the public the Queensland Maritime Museum carries out research on all
aspects of Queensland's and Australia's maritime history as well as on maritime matters generally.
The Queensland Maritime Museum is staffed by an enthusiastic and informed group of volunteers
whose wish is that your visit to the Museum is as enjoyable and informative as possible. Please
bring your camera as many photo opportunities exist throughout the Museum.
