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.
