A genuinely engaging museum covering Australia's deep relationship with the sea, from Indigenous watercraft to naval history and immigration stories. The outdoor fleet — including a destroyer, submarine, and replica Endeavour — is the highlight and worth the ticket price alone. Crowds can be heavy on school holidays and weekends, so aim for a weekday morning.
