Ships and Subs (Transport IV)


The Australian National Maritime Museum, Darling Harbour. Seen here are HMAS Vampire, a Daring class destroyer built in Sydney at Cockatoo Island- read more here; and HMAS Onslow, an Oberon Class submarine - read more here.
The Maritime Museum collection also includes a naval patrol boat, a replica of James Cook's Endeavour (seen here in my previous blog), and a racing yacht, tug boat, lightship, ship's lifeboat, a pearling lugger, a ketch, Indonesian trading ship and Vietnamese refugee boat, amongst others.

  5. Sally, these are great transport shots; diversity and wealth of information as always. My favourite is the scooter and espresso machine.
