Gladstone Maritime Museum • Volunteer run independent museum • Gladstone port undergoing major development • Gladstone Port authority funding new 600sqm display space for GMM • Cyclone proof partially dry/wet cradle berth to be built to house patrol boat and open to public display
Gladstone Maritime Museum • Massive mining related expansion in Gladstone plus LNG project on Curtis Island means the locals are leaving Gladstone – too expensive to live there. • Struggling to attract volunteers to keep Museum operating.
Townsville Maritime Museum • Volunteer staffed independent museum • Good support from Townsville Port Authority • Making satisfactory progress generally • Ongoing difficulty with suitable berth for patrol boat and getting it open to public.
