Why go

The preserved dry dock places the exhibits in a working waterfront landscape rather than a neutral gallery. Vessels provide physical scale for the region's river and sea history, while associated displays explain the broader context. It is a particularly useful stop if you want to compare Brisbane's present riverfront with an earlier maritime use.
