Portland Maritime Museum

The Portland Maritime Museum is a great place for families to learn about the region's rich maritime history. The museum features a 1858 lifeboat, one of the oldest surviving wooden vessels in Australia, which played a significant role in rescuing survivors from the Admella wreck in 1859. Other exhibits include a 14-meter Sperm Whale skeleton, displays on whaling and sealing, and stories of Portland's early fishing industry. The museum also has a waterfront cafe, making it a great spot for families to spend the day. The centre is also home to a Visitor Information Centre, which provides information on attractions, accommodation, and things to do in Portland and surrounding areas
