This day was a free day for us to do what we wanted.  Yesterday on our Harbor tour we saw all these old boats so we wound our way to the Australia Maritime Museum.

First up was the battleship Vampire.  It served through then’70’s. Mark marveled over the guns and the wiring.  There must be a million miles of wires strung throughout this ship.

Next was the submarine, Onslow.  Okay, I know I’m not tall but it was a real tough slog to try to get up and down the hatches and through the water tight door portals.

This is the view inside up the conning tower.

Just a few gauges.

This is where they maintain the ballast.

Need something fixed?  Hang on a minute and I’ll grab my tools.

I’ll post pix from the Australia Museum on another post, but first!  Endeavor!  This is the ship Captain Cook sailed around the world in.  Glad I wasn’t in this one too as they had added a deck which meant I had to stoop to get from one end of the second deck to the other!
