Our Story
How a group of volunteers built a maritime museum.
The Victorian Maritime Centre began with a conversation in the Hastings RSL, grew into the Western Port Oberon Association, and is run today entirely by volunteers. Here is how it came about, where it found a home, and the two ships at the heart of its story: the submarine HMAS Otama and the pilot cutter MV Wyuna.
