Victorian Maritime Centre
38°20′50.03″S 145°12′53.71″E / 38.3472306°S 145.2149194°E The Victorian Maritime Centre is an Australian maritime museum near
Crib Point since 2002.[1] She has now arrived in Western Australia for scrapping. The ship Wyuna is also planned to be displayed at the centre. For a time she was docked at Beauty Point, Tasmania, and after being refurbished for 18 months she was to be moved to Docklands in Melbourne, Victoria.[2] After this berth became unavailable, the vessel was docked at Inspection Head Wharf in Beauty Point. After a period there, she was towed into Bell Bay where she lays at anchor as of January 2016.[3]
The planned display of the vessels would have the Otama displayed out of the water, with the Wyuna in a wet berth alongside it.[4]
