The Bass Strait Maritime Museum offers research services for those interested in Devonport’s local, maritime, and Bass Strait histories. Our records include local and maritime history libraries, ship histories, early photographs of Devonport and local shipping, and a collection of photographs of homes built before 1915. Please note that we do not have passenger lists or car logs.
Research inquiries from local schools and 7310 community members are generally free of charge, while more complex enquiries such as professional research projects may incur a fee. All fees support museum activities, and your support is greatly appreciated.
Research requests can take at least two weeks to be processed.
