About

History, exploration + fun on Tasmania's waterfront!

Set sail on an unforgettable family adventure at Devonport’s Bass Strait Maritime Centre, where history, exploration, and fun come together on Tasmania’s stunning waterfront. Perfect for curious kids and parents alike, the museum is housed in the charming 1920s Harbourmaster’s residence and brings the daring tales of the Bass Strait to life.

Explore intricate ship models, captivating local history, and the fascinating natural wonders of Bass Strait and its islands. From legendary shipwrecks to the lives of those who braved these waters, the exhibits offer a hands-on way to engage with Tasmania’s rich seafaring heritage.

The highlight for many families is the World Class Ship Simulator. Take control as captain, steering through the Mersey River and navigating the challenges of the iconic Bass Strait. It’s a thrilling and interactive way for kids and adults to immerse themselves in the adventure of life at sea.
