Mainly Maritime Museum (Warship & Marine Corps Museum), St Helens

We came for the nature and got "stuck" in the village in pouring rain. Bless you rain!!! What a gem this little museum is! Packed with great artifacts, carefully collected, preserved and presented by one man! We felt like we found a treasure cave. Must visit if you are in the area!

This is an excellent well documented naval history. It dates way back to early 18th century up to present day. The artifacts are amazing. It I s possible to spend a week there and still not see everything. Naval history of Australia Americs Britain Ireland and many more countries. Drawings of the old ships. Brian the owner has so much knowledge and us very detailed. This collection is over 60 years old. I could not praise this collection enough. It could be compared thd the Louvre. So much stuff. So much detail of wars and reason for failures and successes. So many biography of these men. Good information on wives and also notable women who contributed.. Brian has cataloged his collection so professionally. It is simply an amazing museum and Brian is an amazing host. He has obviously made a terrific effort to collect relevant maritime information world wide. The attention to detail is phenomenal It is a must for historophiles visiting this lovely town on the bayoffires in Tasmania
