Australians have always had

close links with the sea.

In 1975 a museums inquiry

commissioned

by the Australian Government

recommended that

‘…priority be given to

a national maritime museum in Sydney’.

In 1984 an ambitious

Darling Harbour redevelopment program

was unveiled.

The museum would stand adjacent

to the historic 1903 Pyrmont Bridge,

now a pedestrian link to the city.
