The Australian National Maritime Museum, built in 1991, is Australia’s national center for maritime collections, exhibitions, research and archaeology. The museum presents a changing program of stimulating exhibitions and events to share Australia’s maritime history and connect the stories, objects, people and places that are part of the country’s narrative. The museum has one of the largest floating historical vessel collections in the world, featuring the renowned replica of Captain Cook’s HMB Endeavour, the former Navy destroyer HMAS Vampire, the former Navy patrol boat HMAS Advance and former Navy submarine HMAS Onslow. Docked at the wharves, visitors can climb aboard to explore life at sea. The museum welcomes over 850,000 visitors annually.
100% “Blank Copper Coins” are pre-loaded in the machines and are dispensed between the rollers when the customer inserts the $2.00 coin.
