The News, Culture and Practice of Sailing woodenboats
in Australia, New Zealand & The South Pacific.
Eighteen Engagements
No single museum can offer what Maritime Museums of Victoria can – eighteen museum sites with something for everyone, from detailed exhibits and restored vessels to entire villages with amazing lightshows.
The Sharpie Story - Saving Sabre
The collective archives of our nation are suffering slow strangulation by lack of commitment and funding. The National Library of Australia, the National Museum, the National Film & Sound Archive, the ABC and various State Maritime Museums are struggling. Collections are deteriorating and large parts remain undigitised. Archivists, researchers and librarians have been sacked and if retained have been ironically rebranded as Knowledge Keepers or Navigators.
SWS IS A SURPRISING SUCCESS STORY
