But wait, there’s more!

We’ll also have, free kids' activities from 10:00am-2:00pm and Family-Friendly Museum tours at 10:30am, 11:30am and 2:00pm.

The free outdoor exhibition, Container – the box that changed the world, is also on with six sea containers trailing from WA Maritime Museum down to E-Shed Markets.

Maritime Day is a celebration and collaboration between WA Maritime Museum, Victoria Quay and Fremantle Ports.
