Australian Heritage Fleet

The museum's historic vessels and boats are available for viewing by appointment at Rozelle Bay. 'Lady Hopetoun', 'Waratah', 'John Oxley', 'Boomerang', 'Kanangra', 'Gretel 11' are operational sea going vessels.

A community-based non-profit organisation, the Fleet�s mission is to: build and maintain an internationally recognised centre of excellence in maritime heritage for the benefit of all Australians by presenting through research, acquisition, conservation, restoration, education and operation, our continuing maritime history. The Fleet is funded through donations, membership subscriptions, income from vessel charters and tours and the proceeds of Art Unions.

The Heritage Boat collection (historic smaller boats) are available for inspection at Wharf 7, Pirrama Rd Pyrmont (near the Australian National Maritime Museum and Star City Casino.) These include 'The Child of the Bounty', 'Tom Thumb' and 'Yendys'.

The 1874, fully restored, iron barque 'James Craig' is open for inspection 0900 -1630, 7 days a week except for when she is on day cruises at sea.
