21.01.2022 Unfortunately due to the high winds we have had to cancel tonight’s showing of Pics in the Rig. Our deepest apologies but it’s spring in Tasmania. So there is wind

20.01.2022 The Maritime Museum of Tasmania is proud to present Pics on the Rig, a new outdoor projection programme located on Hobart’s historic waterfront. Supported by the Hobart City Council and in partnership with the May Queen Trust Pics on the Rig will feature contemporary projection works, historic footage and imagery celebrating Tasmania’s maritime history and heritage. Projected onto a ‘sail’ screen rigged aboard Australia’s oldest floating vessel, May Queen located at Constit...ution Dock, the inaugural programme begins with Ice Blink: Ahoy! by Tasmanian Antarctic expeditioners Miranda Nieboer and Frederique Olivier, alongside exclusive footage supplied by the Australian Antarctic Division. Rug up, grab some fish and chips, a thermos of hot milo and come see amazing vision of the seaward journey south. Pics on the Rig will be showing at Constitution Dock (adjacent the Waterside Pavilion, cnr of Morrison and Davey Streets). Nightly screenings (subject to weather) - check here for updates. Program consists of 4 short duration films on a loop, approx 20 mins in total. 6:00 9:00pm 4 Sep 16 Nov

11.01.2022 Some great memories of the visit of the USS Enterprise in 1976. One of its escort vessels was HMAS Derwent, a ship with many Tasmanian connections. For me I remember wagging school to go on board the Enterprise. There were no security checks, no questions even for boys in New Town High School uniforms. We were escorted around by a Navy flyer. Things went well until we lined up to catch the ferry back to the wharves. There were so many people waiting I did not get off until after 6. Needless to say I hadn’t told my parents and no way of contacting them. So they were not pleased to say the least!!!

10.01.2022 Here is a great little vignette into life on some of our lighthouses. Now that is real social isolation!
