CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE

It gives me great pleasure to present the Australian National Maritime Museum’s

Annual Report 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2003. It records another year of lively, diverse activities and exhibitions.

The museum made significant additions to our National Maritime Collection. Fifteen temporary exhibitions were on view during the year, while our travelling exhibitions criss-crossed the nation. The number and variety of public programs and events was exceptional, and the record attendance of visiting schools demonstrated the commitment of our staff to making our products relevant and educational.

Helping to chart the museum’s future and contribute to its management and governance has been a most rewarding experience, and I would like to commend the director and staff on their dedication and hard work. I would also like to record my thanks to my fellow Council members for their support and advice. We develop with the continued support of the Australian Government, the museum’s existing sponsors, donors and supporters - including our valued Members organisation - and with increasing involvement from corporate and private patrons.

I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to our late Council member

Noel Robins OAM, who lost his battle for life after a tragic car accident in Perth. Noel had overcome crippling injuries from an earlier accident to skipper the 1977 Australian challenge for the America’s Cup, two Admiral’s Cup ocean racing series, and win world and state sailing titles. While an ANMM Council member he won a Paralympic sailing gold medal in 2000. His great personal warmth and enthusiasm will be sadly missed by all of us.

Sadly, too, we lost a founding director of our Australian National Maritime Foundation with the death at age 71 of Tas Bull, former secretary of the Waterside Workers Federation. Tas was a major player in Australia’s postwar political and industrial history, particularly in the maritime arena. His support will be missed.

The museum is firmly focused on the future. I refer you to the director’s overview on the following pages for a preview of the vibrant and diverse exhibitions and activities planned for 2003-04. In addition we have underway a capital project which will transform the waterfront precinct of the museum and greatly add to visitation. I look forward to reporting significant achievements at the Australian National Maritime Museum over the coming year as the museum continues to develop and innovate.

OVERVIEW

Last November, at the Captain Cook Graving Dock

at Sydney’s Garden Island Dockyard, we had the

opportunity to inspect the awesome yet sculptural

underwater form of the museum’s Oberon class

submarine for the first time since it came to the

museum. It's a perspective few will ever see, yet

it graphically demonstrated the magnititude o f the

Australian Government’s determination to preserve

and interpret the nation's maritime history and heritage

through a national maritime museum. Few museums,

national or otherwise, will ever have to manage

conservation on this scale.

As colossal as this achievement was, in our busy

year 2002-03, it was just one of many. Another was

our first-ever display of all 80 bark paintings from our

most important collection o f sacred Aboriginal art,

in the exhibition Saltwater - Yirrkala bark paintings

o f Sea Country. These artworks are extraordinary,

shimmering with the spiritual power of sacred clan

designs. We extended the exhibition’s relevance with an

effective children’s trail, and an outstanding computer

interactive developed to link Yolngu people’s intimate

understanding of their environment with school science

curricula. This is part of an ongoing Indigenous science

curriculum project which we are undertaking with

the NSW Department of Education, ANU’s Centre

for Cross-Cultural Research and Yirrkala community

organisations.

We were thrilled by the visitor response to

Saltwater. Some declared, with amazement, that they

would have expected to view such an exhibition only

in a major art gallery. It made many see the museum in

a new light, and encouraged visitors to understand that

maritime themes penetrate deeply through our society

in all sorts of ways.

The contrasts between these two projects speak

eloquently, I believe, of the ambition and diversity

o f the museum’s aspirations and achievements. They

point to the complexity of our discipline, and to some

4

of the many modes and media by which we interpret

our maritime past and present for both Australian

and international audiences. They also indicate our

determination to reach well beyond the museum world

and forge a broad range of partnerships, with academic

and educational bodies, with communities and with

industry.

MORE EXHIBITIONS AND VISITOR PROGRAMS

A catalogue of the year's many temporary exhibitions

on following pages reveals how widely they ranged,

catering for many different interests. Two, Antarctic

Heroes and Oceans o f Stories, can be singled out for

their great success in attracting school group visits.

Along with our regular children’s activity centres they

helped to lift the proportion of children to 22% of our

total paid visitation. This is an investment in the future,

by making museums a part of children’s lives in an era

when, research tells us, museum use is under pressure

from the welter o f alternative leisure attractions on offer.

In conjunction with the Children’s Book Council

of Australia, a team guided by our education specialists

produced Oceans o f Stories - Illustrations from

Australian Children’s Books. As well as displaying

vibrant original artworks by well-known children’s

illustrators, it gave insights into the creative process

and how books are produced. It was backed up by a

wealth of activities and material aimed to help parents

encourage reading habits - and, from our conservators,

advice on preserving treasured books.

The curriculum-focused Antarctic Heroes

- Triumph & Tragedy attracted record school numbers,

and high levels o f adult interest spilled over into its

well-attended lecture and seminar series. Everyone

was fascinated by its centrepiece, the whaler James

New terrazzo mosaic created by artist David Humphries for the museum's front entrance

Caird that Shackleton navigated so heroically to

rescue his stranded expedition in 1916. We were proud

indeed to have negotiated this loan from Dulwich

College, England - its first-ever return to the southern

hemisphere.

COLLECTING

Acquisitions and donations this year reflected the

breadth of our collection policy. A social history focus

was evident in the number of personal collections

representing naval and merchant seafaring life - and a

box of Cuban cigars presented to marathon swimmer

Susie Maroney by Fidel Castro! A shipping collection of

650 indexed glass plate negatives by Frederick Garner

Wilson builds on the strength of our photographic

holdings. Pearls, jewellery, tools and personal papers

represent an industry pioneer’s efforts to culture pearls

from the 1950s. Contemporary artworks ranged from

Indigenous art in many media, the work of a number

of fine modern photographers, and the memorable boat

sculptures o f cardboard and found objects by country

and western singer Slim Barrie.

We inaugurated the Australian National Maritime

Foundation in 2002 to gain support for the collection

from industry and the wider community, by creating a

capital fund. Its first fund-raiser was held in late 2002,

themed around the Antarctic Heroes exhibition. Sadly

we lost one of its founding directors, Tas Bull, in May

this year. The union leader, internationalist, socialist,

seafarer, waterside worker and writer died aged 71 in

his Sydney home.

NATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS

Collaborating with and assisting colleagues and

communities around Australia has become a prime

focus for us. The numerous maritime museums and

related community historical associations around

Australia are still quite disparate, many of them remote

and isolated. Our leadership and support as a national

institution is a key to creating a greater maritime

heritage community.

Each year we offer internships to fund a working

visit by a museum volunteer, who gains experience

and skills from our staff specialists. The most recent

intern was Marjorie Earl, from the Shipwreck Museum

in Cairns, who worked in our visitor programs and

education section. She wrote in her acquittal report:

‘Everyone was so kind and supportive ... your

internship changed my life.’ You couldn’t ask for better

feedback than that!

Our foremost partnering program entered its eighth

year. MMAPSS (the Maritime Museums of Australia

Project Support Scheme) is the maritime heritage grants

scheme administered by us and jointly funded by the

museum and the Australian Government’s Distributed

National Collection program. This year’s 12 grants

totalling $30,032 (listed in an appendix) brought to 90 the

total of projects supported across Australia since 1995.

Closer to home, we continued to give substantial

support to Australian Heritage Fleet (formerly Sydney

Maritime Museum), which specialises in heritage ship

operations including the 1874 barque James Craig and

century-old steamer Lady Hopetoun. We accommodate

this mostly volunteer-based organisation’s collections,

workshop and offices alongside our own facilities in

our W harf 7 Maritime Heritage Centre, and give them

berthing for James Craig.

The museum collaborated with ANU’s Humanities

Research Centre and the ABC’s Development and TV

divisions to host a workshop exploring new ways of

bringing Australian history to the screen. Our maritime

archaeologists, divers and vessels supported fieldwork

by the NSW Heritage Office. The fleet section provided

professional advice on vessel display and management

to museums in several states and New Zealand. Section

two details more o f these activities as well as the

volume of research and other enquiries assisted by

many sections o f the museum.

INTERNATIONAL VENTURES

The museum continues to extend its influence overseas.

O f course, being on-line gives everyone access to

the world, but we are seeing increasing numbers of

7

overseas enquiries arriving via our website, relating to

aspects of shipping or other maritime topics for which

our Australian collections hold answers.

Our profile in the international community of

museums is rising, in part because of the number of

fine exhibitions we have sourced in other countries. 1

visited Copenhagen to develop plans with the National

Museum of Denmark for a fabulous exhibition on the

history of Vikings, which we will tour to other states.

Popular imports like this (or the Mary Rose and Vasa

exhibitions before it) demonstrate the universal appeal

of humanity’s encounters with the sea, in all their

drama, tragedy and triumph.

This year we finalised a staff exchange agreement

with the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich UK,

arguably the world’s foremost maritime museum,

Oberon submarine HMAS Onslow undergoes its first dry docking as a museum object, at the Garden Island dockyard, Sydney

intended to deepen links between us and build

professional expertise. In the first placement, exhibition

curator John Graves from Greenwich spent two

months with us studying various facets of exhibition

development.

The museum has always been active in the

International Congress of Maritime Museums, and this

year I was elected Vice-President at its 11th Triennial

Congress held in Italy and Slovenia.

FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE

Volatility and a widespread downturn in international

tourism due to the international climate of war

and threats of terrorism have been a fact of life,

particularly in the last half of this financial year when

the SARS epidemic and the Iraq war coincided. Many

Sydney attractions were hit hard, with some that are

particularly sensitive to the overseas tourist market

reporting up to 50% reductions. The museum saw the

proportion of foreign visitors slip from 32% to 27%,

a clear factor in the slight reduction of overall visitor

numbers which we experienced. Still, this was a very

pleasing result in light of overall trends.

In addition to this we are operating in a complex

and very competitive environment, with fierce Sydney

competition and growing numbers of leisure-time

attractions contributing to a widely observed decline

in numbers o f people who attend museums. Offsetting

this may be a growing interest in history (often the

result of controversial cultural debates), and an ageing,

time and asset-rich population from which to recruit

visitors, Members, volunteers and supporters.

Increasing costs impact in areas such as insurance,

particularly in the case of liability and cover for

exhibition loan items. A strengthening dollar has

provided some relief, however, in overseas freight costs.

ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS

This is the 13th annual report of operations of the

museum since it became a Commonwealth Statutory

Authority in December 1990. It is also the final report

for the museum’s 2000-2003 Strategic Plan. During the

year we developed the Strategic Plan for 2003-2006 and

tabled it in Federal Parliament in accordance with our

enabling legislation. The new Strategic Plan, developed

with vigorous museum-wide discussion and input, will

guide the organisation through a volatile period, with

emphasis on best museum practice and sustainability.

By 30 June 2003 we had nearly completed

relocation of fleet maintenance from leased premises

at Berrys Bay, on the opposite side o f the harbour, to

the main museum site. This is part of a longer-term

strategy addressing the need for greater self-sufficiency

in the areas of fleet maintenance, improved docking for

the floating collection and better public access to the

vessels. The ambitious reconfiguration o f our existing

wharves had begun at year’s end. Large pontoons

sourced from Western Australia were in transit, and

pile driving had started. This project will proceed in

stages over a period of years, with some development

approvals required.

Other capital works included the start of

conservation and rectification work on the 19th-century

Cape Bowling Green lighthouse, and a complete

redevelopment o f the Navy exhibition in the ANZ Tall

Gallery. The complex task of planning, evaluation and

interact with the museum digitally.

Our collaboration with the Australian Association

for Maritime History will grow as we announce the first

winner o f our joint Frank Broeze Memorial Maritime

History Book Prize, with its $2,000 prize sponsored by

us. Museum staff will assume the presidency and vice

presidency of the association as its rotating executive

moves to NSW for the next five years.

The Australian Government's Review of

Commonwealth Cultural Agencies put an end to

the depreciation funding of collections. This had no

immediate budgetary implications for this museum, as

we had not applied such depreciation to our collections.

We will however apply for additional funds to assist with

collection management in line with the other cultural

agencies. The museum is modelling various combinations

of ticketing admissions as required by the Review.

I look forward to reporting on these and other

innovations which will ensure our place as the nation's

leading resource for Australian maritime history and

heritage.

selection of a new Collection Information Management

System was well underway. This will have a profound

positive impact on accessibility o f the National

Maritime Collection for both staff and the public.

OUTLOOK

The redeveloped Navy exhibition will provide a popular

attraction when it opens in December 2003. It will be

joined by lively new exhibitions including 500 years

under the sea ... Sunken Treasures o f Brunei Darussalam

from Arts Exhibitions Australia, Sydney Working

Harbour sponsored by Sydney Ports Corporation, and

a cheeky look at fashion, Sailor Style. Popular festivals

will include the Operation Jaywick 60th anniversary &

Defence Special Operations Week; the museum’s second

food festival Mediterranean Tucker, and its sixth Classic

& Wooden Boat Festival in March 2004.

Completing the historic vessel display basin, a key

component o f the museum’s Site Master Plan, will be

an important step in our strategy to maximise use of

our Darling Harbour site. And we will plan and begin

redevelopment o f the ANMM World Wide Web site, to

take advantage of the changing audiences for museums

and the steadily increasing numbers o f people who

YIRRKALA BARK PAINTINGS OF SEA COUNTRY

For Yolngu people - Aboriginal inhabitants of north

east Arnhem Land - their land and sea are marked by

sacred places. Disgusted at the repeated invasion of

their precious waterways, Yolngu elders decided to use

sacred art to explain their lore and law to outsiders.

The result was the Saltwater collection o f 80 powerful

paintings. Each bark reveals previously-secret spiritual

knowledge and explains the basis of Yolngu ownership

of Saltwater Country.

Harbour, posters played a critical role in mobilising

public support. The striking images and messages they

contain provide a glimpse of the war effort on a wider

front, and the money, labour and personal sacrifices

that were required.

TRIUM PH AND TRAGEDY

The vast continent o f Antarctica - unexplored,

inhospitable, a place of treacherous beauty - is the

ultimate challenge to heroic adventurers. The names

o f Scott, Shackleton, Amundsen and Mawson evoke

legendary feats of endurance and heroism. Driven

by courage and determination, they risked their lives

in pursuit o f ambitions on the coldest and windiest

place on earth. The triumphs and terrible failures of

these explorers who dared to conquer the unknown

are awe-inspiring. This outstanding exhibition brought

together the largest collection o f historical objects and

photographs from the great Antarctic expeditions ever

seen in Australia.

PREDATOR AND PREY

In a country surrounded by water, horror stories of

shark attacks have created deep-seated fear. Because

o f this, some shark species, essential in the marine

ecosystem, have been reduced almost to extinction. Yet

when swimmers, surfers and scuba divers are attacked,

the idea o f protecting sharks often meets resistance.

The roles o f predator and prey seem to swing uneasily

between sharks and people.

Program summary

Customer serviceCustomer service at the museum was greatly improved

in the past year by capital works undertaken to provide

better visitor access to our collection. These included

upgrading access to the foyer and floating collection, the

Members lounge makeover, and improving our outside

facilities.

Among new products designed to meet customer

needs are children’s birthday parties featuring

adventures on our vessels, games and activities led by

our professional Kids Deck staff and performers, plus

food and gifts. The package was designed by our visitor

programs staff and marketing department.

We are constantly presented with the challenge

o f both satisfying our customers' expectations and

meeting requirements for increased security. To assist

in achieving this balance, daily briefings are held to

inform staff of each day’s expected visitation, including

the many large school groups the museum continues

to attract. In addition, front o f house and security staff

attend special training sessions for each new exhibition.

Customer service personnel are closely involved

with the local business community and remain aware

o f special conditions and potential problems within the

precinct. Our Customer Service Charter appears in an

appendix.

Visitor profileWhile this year’s visitation of 304,394 fell slightly below

the target figure, we resisted the steep decline experienced

by many tourist attractions in a troubled year - particularly

the first half of 2003, with the twin upheavals to tourism

of the SARS scare and war in Iraq. Visitation, however,

followed a pattern similar to last year’s: 48% of visitors

came from the Sydney metropolitan area, 15% of all

visitors came from NSW country areas, 11% were from

other states, and 27% of overseas origin. Our top five

international markets remain the same as last year: UK,

USA, New Zealand, Japan and Germany.

More Members visited the museum than last year,

and over 3 1,000 people attended events held here.

Attendance at schools and children’s programs was at

a record high of 69,172 people, an increase due largely

to the attraction of Antarctic Heroes - Triumph and

Tragedy to school groups.

Capital WorksA progressive program of work was undertaken to

replace the expansion joints in the exhibition building

roof, in order to resolve water penetration problems.

Plans for the protection and display o f the museum’s

floating collection are underway, using a fixed and

retractable pontoon arrangement to provide wash and

wave amelioration. Work also commenced to the south

on a pontoon which will provide casual berthing for

maritime festivals and other events. A second basin has

been designed for the maintenance of the fleet and for

vessel display using the same pontoon arrangement. This

proposal is presently awaiting development approval.

The Navy exhibition in the ANZ Tall Gallery, unchanged

since opening in 1991, was redesigned, and the gallery

was closed from May 2003 for extensive redevelopment.

Venue hire and cateringThe venue operation continues to provide high standards

of customer service which enhance the museum’s profile

within corporate, government and private sectors of the

community. However, the building works associated

with the redesign of the Navy exhibition restricted hire

of two popular conference venues - the ANZ Theatre

and Tasman Light - resulting in a reduction in revenue.

The museum won the CIM (Convention &

Incentive Marketing) Magazine Award for Best Practice

as a function venue. The award is highly regarded in the

professional conference and meetings industry and this

is the first time a museum venue has won. For a second

year. The MODE Group, the museum’s preferred

caterer and operator o f our harbourside restaurant Yots

Cafe, won a Restaurant & Catering NSW Metropolitan

Award of Excellence for venue catering. Extensive

renovations to Yots Cafe were completed during the

year, and the refurbished waterfront space continues

to attract museum visitors and bookings for private

evening events.

The StoreThe Store enjoys a growing reputation as one of the

most exciting and eclectic of museum and specialty

stores in Australia. The extensive range of museum-

branded and exhibition-related merchandise and

publications is a substantial source of revenue, and

caters to the universal need of museum visitors to widen

23

their museum experience by purchasing educational

material, books, and other reminders of their visit. A

reduction in gross and net revenue (see table opposite)

are a result of lower museum visitor figures and higher

contract wages costs that are being remedied.

Sydney by SailSydney by Sail is a successful commercial enterprise

operating from the museum basin. The yacht charter

company is well-regarded in the tourism industry and

offers short sails on the harbour and longer overnight

cruises, as well as courses for beginning or veteran

sailors. In addition to giving visitors an opportunity to

extend their museum experience with hands-on maritime

adventures, Sydney by Sail is a source of revenue to the

museum. More information about their activities can be

found at www.svdnevbvsail.com

Communications and informationThe museum’s network operations were enhanced this

year in a number of ways, including:

• conversion of the personnel server to the Windows

2000 server operating system;

• the introduction of a desktop PC refresh

using Windows XP as the standard operating

environment;

• the beginning of the design section’s Macintosh

refresh using OS 10.2 as the standard operating

environment;

• an upgrade of desktop management software to

ZenWorks 4;

• the relocation of fleet services network

infrastructure to the museum;

• preparation of a draft IT security policy.

In addition, improvements were made to the

museum’s audio-visual facilities. The AVID XPRESS

editing system used for in-house production of

exhibition content was upgraded, to provide streamlined

inter-operability and workflow; audio-visuals for

temporary exhibitions were produced; and lighting

and interactive multimedia in the Navy exhibition

were demounted so that the PIVoD media and visual

management system could be incorporated into the

redeveloped gallery.

The PIVoD media and visual management

system was extended onto our warships Vampire and

Onslow to provide additional capacity for interpretive

programs and to address occupational health and

safety concerns. Changes in these areas included the

installation of motion sensors to trigger spatial sound

effects; installation of sensors to monitor changes in

temperature, fire and water level; introducing cameras

into currently inaccessible areas to enable museum

visitors to use touch screens to view these areas; the

provision of camera and sensor feedback to security

control in the event o f water level changes, unauthorised

access or critical failure; and the introduction o f a

device to monitor and maintain safe levels of visitor

numbers.

Other improvements to communications include

the installation of an ADSL broadband service at Berrys

Bay to allow desktop internet access.

Records management, an important part o f the

responsibilities o f the communications and information

section, created 1,073 files and expedited 7,865 file

movements.

Human resource management & OHSFollowing a successful series of negotiations, the third

certified agreement was reached in the Australian

Industrial Relations Commission in December 2002. A

museum performance scheme was implemented and a

first round of performance assessments was completed

at 30 June 2003. A management training workshop was

attended by branch and section heads.

The Occupational Health and Safety Committee

m et monthly during the year. Implementation of

Occupational Health and Safety initiatives continues

to be a high priority and a number of OH&S systems

were introduced. These include confined spaces entry

procedures, OH&S induction, danger tag procedures,

and submarine Onslow evacuation procedures. Several

OH&S training programs were conducted, including

confined spaces training and hazardous substances

training.

The museum had 75 reported OH&S incidents in

the last financial year. This was a reduction on the 84

reported incidents in the 2001-02 financial year.

Program summary

Innovative maritime heritage programsThe redevelopment of the Navy exhibition was ongoing

this year, with the south end of the ANZ Tall Gallery

closed from May for the demount of the original

exhibition. This will be followed by installation of the

new architecture and exhibits occupying the first five

months of 2003-04. It is part of the staged redevelopment

of the ‘core’ exhibitions with which the museum opened

in 1991. It follows the earlier redevelopments of the

Indigenous, exploration and leisure exhibitions.

Three major new temporary exhibitions were

staged this year in our largest temporary exhibition

space, the Nortel Networks Gallery. They were

Saltwater - Yirrkala bark paintings o f Sea Country,

Antarctic Heroes - Triumph and Tragedy and Oceans

o f Stories - Illustrations from Australian Children’s

Books. Their impact and their contribution to the

m useum ’s profile is discussed more fully in the

director’s overview.

Among our other exhibitions, we probed the national

psyche and its primal fears in Sharks - Predator and Prey.

Colourful American war posters in Patriotism Persuasion

Propaganda revealed the role this medium plays in

mobilising public support for wars - including the war

on terrorism. Siglas de Pescadores - Signs o f Fishermen,

an ethnological snapshot of a Portuguese fishing village,

opened doors to our own Portuguese community.

A new addition to the museum’s popular visitor

programs and events was the inaugural Speedboat

Festival held over three days during the Easter holidays.

It was a window into the exciting world of racing

and recreational powerboating and the people who

design, build and drive them. Highlights included

demonstration races by J class or Nipper speedboat

drivers o f 8-16 years, parades o f powercraft and a

Best Boat o f the Festival award for the owners who

displayed their classic speedsters on water and land at

the museum.

The fastest boat in the world, one of the museum’s

great icons, went back on prominent display just off

the main foyer. Ken Warby’s 511.11 km/h, jet-powered

Spirit o f Australia had been removed from the former

Leisure exhibition when it was redeveloped in 2001, and

a dedicated team solved a number of technical challenges

to return this public favourite to a prime position.

Two of the museum’s travelling exhibitions

completed their Australian tours. VASA 1628 - Strange

fa te o f a K ing’s warship had been developed by us and

the Vasa Museum in Stockholm to bring Australian

audiences the story o f this magnificent ship and its

recovery from the deep. Our Centenary o f Federation

exhibition Smugglers - Customs and Contraband

completed a national tour which began in 2001.

Education and children’s programsSchool attendances were at a record 46,714 this year,

compared to 34,959 last year. Numbers were boosted by

15,000 student visitors to Antarctic Heroes in first term.

Sixty-five percent of visiting school groups opted for a

tour or workshop led by trained teacher guides, compared

to 41 % in 2001-2002. Seventy schools participated in the

Shipwreck and Conservation senior chemistry workshops

and 67 in the Navigators tour. The tables on following

pages indicate the broad choice of programs on offer.

The Peter Doyle Learning Centre was used to optimum

advantage, with workshops overflowing to other

museum venues. Interpretive spaces within exhibitions,

such as Little Heroes in Antarctic Heroes and Vinny’s

Minis in Oceans o f Stories, proved versatile as education

and Kids Deck spaces.

The interactive play Mapmaker ’s Brother for the

Oceans Apart exhibition taught children the basics

of navigation, exploration and mapping as they

circumnavigated Australia imaginatively with Matthew

Flinders in 1803. Popular both with schools and

July holiday visitors, the play was selected, with the

previous year’s play Prospectors, for the prestigious

Museums Theatre Arts Showcase o f the American

Association of Museums.

The Saltwater collection o f bark paintings attracted

much interest from schools. The collection is the

basis of Turtle Tracks: Indigenous knowledge and

Western science, the result of a joint research project

(Indigenous Science and Curriculum Development)

between the museum’s education and curatorial

sections, the Centre for Cross Cultural Research at

ANU, the NSW Department of Education and Training

Aboriginal Studies Team, and the Yirrkala (NT) and

Yuin (NSW south coast) communities.

27

Other visitor programs highlights included

showcasing the 2002 HSC Aboriginal Studies major

works; the ever-popular summer holiday Wetworld

program; joint ventures with Imax theatre and the

Harbour Trust; and a collaboration with the English

Teachers Association to produce a CD-ROM focussing

on visual meaning in museum exhibitions.

The USA GalleryThe striking images on the World War II posters in the

current USA Gallery exhibition. Patriotism Persuasion

Propaganda - American war posters, reveal the power

o f popular art to influence public opinion in times of

war. The posters are on show until February 2004 and a

number of successful events, including special Members

events, have been held in the exhibition during the year.

USA Gallery curator Paul Hundley once again

assisted in efforts to identify HMB Endeavour, in

Newport Harbor, Rhode Island, USA. In Australia, he

undertook collaborative fieldwork with Heritage NSW,

participating in archaeological documentation o f the

wreck Centurion (1887) in Sydney Harbour.

The USA Gallery occupies a unique place in the

international museum world, as a gallery in a national

museum funded by another nation. It celebrates a

shared history - more than two centuries of maritime

contact, cooperation and competition between Australia

and the United States - and is the enduring product o f a

generous endowment which was the USA’s bicentennial

gift to Australia. The gallery continues to foster

diplomatic, commercial and cultural relations between

the two countries and their museums.

Maritime archaeologyThe maritime archaeology program at the museum

greatly benefited this year from the skills of Lee

Graham, from the fleet section. Lee is a qualified

commercial diver, coxswain and shipwright, and

participated in our survey work with the NSW Heritage

Office on the Edward Lombe (1834), Royal Shepherd

(1890) and Centurion (1887) shipwrecks in Sydney

Harbour.

The museum was once again invited by the

Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project (RIMAP)

to participate in work on the 1778 fleet o f transports

sunk off Newport Harbor during the American War of

Independence. Work centered on a site to the north of

the Newport-Jamestown Bridge where one wreck was

identified last year as an 18th-century vessel of similar

size and construction to three of the scuttled transports:

the Britannia, the Rachel and Mary and the Lord

Sandwich (ex-HMB Endeavour). This year ANMM,

RIMAP and Navy Undersea Warfare Center divers

excavated a number o f survey grid areas. The sternpost

and rudder gudgeons (hinges) of the ship were located

and evidence o f deliberate scuttling was observed.

The team noted that the size and length of the keel and

keelson, the scantlings (dimensions) o f the planking

and the floors and futtocks (ribs), and the numerous

iron and treenail fastenings all indicated that the wreck

was a substantially built vessel of almost identical

tonnage and length to both the Lord Sandwich and the

American-built Britannia. Daily updates, video links

and digital images of the survey and excavation work

were posted onto the ANMM webpage.

indigenous affairsThe Indigenous curator and liaison officer prepared

exhibition texts for Saltwater - Yirrkala bark paintings

o f Sea Country, along with related interpretive activities,

liaison with conservators and community members for

the exhibition’s opening in August. It is hoped that the

landmark exhibition of 80 paintings, a unique expression

of Indigenous sea-rights and Yolngu sacred knowledge,

will tour to overseas venues in the future. The curator

participated in the joint research project (mentioned

above under ‘Education and children’s programs’)

which aims to introduce elements o f Indigenous

knowledge into the NSW science curriculum. This has

given the museum an opportunity to deepen its relations

with Indigenous communities.

The curator researched material for a protocol

document for the Australian National Maritime

Museum which examined responsibilities, protocols

and intellectual property, and involved community

consultation, a training program, and implementation

and evaluation procedures. He also proposed a forum

on Indigenous issues in museums and developed

long-term plans for the Merana Eora Nora gallery. In

addition, the curator provided valuable assistance to the

m useum ’s education section in setting up a display of

HSC Aboriginal Studies major works in the Peter Doyle

Learning Centre during September 2002.

Program summary

AcquisitionsThe redevelopment o f the Navy exhibition has been

a major focus this year and we have been fortunate in

acquiring a number of personal collections relating

to naval service. In addition to the private donors

mentioned in Appendix 3, the Navy History Directorate

in Canberra put together a small collection for the

museum that represents the RAN’s role in peacekeeping

operations in Bougainville and the Gulf.

The maritime communities section has continued

to build on its strengths in the areas of photography,

with acquisition of a significant shipping collection of

650 indexed glass plate negatives of ships by Frederick

Garner Wilkinson, and other photographic acquisitions.

The museum has also built on its collections relating to

the working lives of merchant seamen with the papers

of marine engineers from two different eras, and tools

and maintenance equipment. See Appendix 2.

A major highlight was the donation o f six coloured

leadlight panels from the main doors o f the Brisbane

headquarters of the Australasian Steam Navigation

Company, from about 1889, saved when the building

was demolished in the 1980s.

The Denis George collection of pearling material

is another outstanding acquisition. Comprised of

pearls, jewellery, pearl shell, cutting, processing and

diving equipment and personal papers, the collection

documents Mr George’s efforts to culture pearls, from

the 1950s to the 1980s.

Fleet sectionTwo major projects dominated the work of the section

during the year. The first was the periodic docking of

the museum’s submarine Onslow - a project planned,

negotiated and supervised by fleet staff. The three-week

docking at ADI Garden Island encompassed work to

secure ballasting arrangements, inspection o f underwater

areas and the reapplication of paint systems. As this was

the boat’s first docking since handover from the RAN in

1999, it was an opportunity also to inspect and close-up

redundant hull penetrations.

The second major project was the relocation of

fleet staff from Berrys Bay to Darling Harbour. Detailed

planning for the move began in early 2003, and when

completed will result in the establishment o f a viable

vessel maintenance facility at the museum precinct.

A comprehensive ship safety quality system,

accredited by AMSA, was implemented for the fleet,

and the first audit successfully completed. Routine

sailing programs were maintained throughout the

period with increased support from volunteers and staff,

culminating on October 27 with the appearance of the

museum’s couta boat Thistle at the popular Balmain

Regatta.

A program of professional development was

initiated with the first of a series o f in-house training

sessions for fleet staff addressing moveable heritage

management. The m useum ’s shipwright apprentices,

Dean O ’Malley and Immanuel Ariel, were seconded

to Geoff Tyers Slipway to gain experience in specialist

coating applications. Dean was later seconded to Allan

Phillips of Race 1 Boats for experience in the use of

high-tech laminates.

The section’s impressive outreach program

included the completion o f a condition report on

William the Fourth at Newcastle Regional Museum;

costing for a feasibility study for Royal New Zealand

Navy Museum; operational advice for a pearling lugger

at the Museum of Tropical Queensland; suggestions

for the docking of the ferry South Steyne\ advice on the

conversion o f HMAS Otama for Westernport Oberon

Association; and vessel and diver support for the NSW

Heritage Office survey of a wreck in Sydney Harbour.

ConservationA major achievement of the conservation section this

year was the re-housing of the museum’s Saltwater

collection o f 80 bark paintings from Yirrkala in north

eastern Arnhem Land. The barks, successfully exhibited

at the museum during the year, are now contained in

purpose-built crates and ready for travel.

Cold storage facilities were created for the

museum’s important collection o f Samuel Hood and

William Hall nitrate and acetate photographic negatives.

Information brochures were produced to accompany

the new exhibition Oceans o f Stories - Illustrations from

Australian Children’s Books, explaining how visitors can

preserve their own precious books.

The section was delighted that talented staff

member Elizabeth Hadlow has been awarded an Ian

Potter Travel Grant and a Churchill Fellowship to study

photographic conservation at the Centre for Photographic

Conservation, UK.

An active outreach program included the

development o f the Australian Institute for the

Conservation of Cultural Materials 2004 Paper

Symposium Collaborations and Connections; training

in preservation for MMAPPS interns from regional

museums; and donation of used display mounts to the

Museums and Galleries Foundation of NSW.

Vaughan Evans LibraryThe library is named for its founding patron, widely

respected amateur maritime historian the late Vaughan

Evans OAM, who donated his large personal library of

monographs and serials to form the collection’s core.

The librarians serviced increased demand from museum

staff working on a busy exhibition program. Public

enquiries and use of the library’s facilities also continued

to increase, a trend which began at the library’s opening.

Greater use is being made of the library’s website http:

//www.anmm.gov.au/libhome.htm, with increasing

email contact from the public. In addition, more people

are visiting the library in person to conduct research.

Increased revenue from enquiries and the large number

of thank-you letters indicate a high level of public

support and satisfaction with the library’s public

education service.

Library staff continued to create and manage

metadata for the museum’s website and to enhance the

library’s own web pages. On-line resource guides in the

Pathfinder series were created and improved, and the

technical services librarian embarked on a long-term

project to catalogue and add original cataloguing data to

Kinetica as a specialist library resource.

In cooperation with consultants TL Collective

and the publications, curatorial, registration and

photography sections of the museum, the library

undertook a major project to construct a web-

based database for a popular category of pictorial

material from the collection. The project involved the

development o f a methodology for contributing this

material to the Picture Australia pictorial portal hosted

by the National Library. Work is well underway on this

project which will appear on the museum’s website and

Picture Australia early in the next financial year.

Continued participation by the library’s small and

dedicated team of volunteers enabled a start on several

new indexing projects and further progress with existing

ones. New indexes to microfilm holdings in the library

were produced by volunteers Janet Robinson and Joy

Hansen and will soon be published on the library web

pages. Outreach activities for the year included tours

for genealogy groups and participation in study tour

programs for University and TAFE students o f Library

and Information Science.

PROGRAM SUMMARY

Marketing and mediaOur exhibitions and activities continue to receive wide

coverage in the news media, promoting the image of the

museum as a vital and innovative institution. Antarctic

Heroes - Triumph and Tragedy, especially the exhibition

o f Shackleton’s rescue boat James Caird, drew a great

deal o f attention on television, radio and in newspapers.

Ken Warby, the fastest man on water, visited the

museum from t he USA in April to unveil his record-

holding superboat Spirit o f Australia in a prominent new

location close to the entry foyer. The event was one of

the year’s media highlights.

To emphasise the fact that the museum is a national

museum, new procedures were implemented to gain

publicity in parts of Australia where people might have

a special interest in heritage acquisitions or activities

with direct links to their area. These strategies are

showing promising results.

The variety o f the museum’s exhibitions and

events is reflected in the broad range of advertising ,rO

mediums used to target its diverse audiences.

Advertising campaigns include a mixture o f mainstream

metropolitan press, niche marketing to specialist groups

and both independent and cooperative marketing to

the tourism sector. A more targeted approach to direct

marketing was adopted to reach the broad interest

areas for Antarctic Heroes and Oceans o f Stories. The

summer campaign focussed on the maritime precinct

as a place with both indoor and outdoor attractions,

promoting the ‘something for everyone’ concept as the

incentive for a visit.

Market researchA contract market researcher continued to analyse

the museum’s attractions and services, to align

these products to market needs and expectations. An

evaluation study of the core Navy exhibition was carried

out to assist in planning the gallery’s redevelopment and

to select a title for the new exhibition. An evaluation

study of the exhibition Watermarks - Adventure, Sport

and Play was undertaken to assess the success of the

gallery’s redevelopment (it reopened in 2001). This

involved a tracking study of visitors, face-to-face

interviews and an exit survey.

Tracking studies of visitors to two temporary

exhibitions, Saltwater and Antarctic Heroes, examined

visitor flow to improve layout and placement o f major

labels. Exit surveys of these and the children’s program

Kids Deck were conducted to gain visitor responses and

feedback.

A major strategic study commenced in conjunction

with the University of Technology and the Powerhouse

Museum, titled Predicting visitation to museums: a case

study o f differentiated choice. Two surveys o f museum

staff are expected to help improve staff services.

PublicationsPrint and electronic publications such as the website

http://www.anmm.gov.au support the museum’s profile

and image and take it to international audiences (see

Appendix 4). The website continues a steady growth

in usage, logging 401,566 visits. Attention this year

focused on making school resources available on line,

including a suite of material developed for the Oceans

o f Stories exhibition. Content management training was

extended to more museum sections to improve timely

and accurate updating of changing information pages.

A new, richly illustrated guide to the museum

was published in response to visitor demand. A new

category o f exhibition publication was trialled for

Antarctic Heroes and Siglas de Pescadores. It provides

visitors with a souvenir o f the exhibition which

consolidates the dispersed message of the exhibition

labels, objects and images in an easily read feature-

article format. Education staff continued a prolific

output of student and teacher resource material.

The publications section administers a growing

demand by publishers and individuals for reproductions

o f images from the collection. The section dealt with

154 such requests during the year.

Design and PreparationThe museum’s designers work to ensure that the

museum's image is applied appropriately and

consistently in different mediums, including exhibitions,

signage and a large variety of publications.

Good design is central to interpreting Australia’s

maritime experience in exciting and innovative ways.

Design staff were kept busy last year designing the

museum’s three larger shows Saltwater, Antarctic Heroes

and Oceans o f Stories, all o f which were developed with

39


short lead-times. Sharks was designed by Five Spaces

Design and the redevelopment of the Navy exhibition

was designed by Cunningham Martyn Design. The

preparation unit played an important role in developing

and building exciting interactives, theatrical effects, and

presentation of objects, particularly for the larger shows,

and creating special effects for the smaller shows.

Time spent on exhibition projects is around 75%

for 3D designers and preparators and around 25%

for graphic designers. Graphic designers also spend

approximately 25% of their time designing for the

many public programs produced by the museum,

including those which complement exhibitions.

MembersThis year 21,615 Members and their guests visited the

museum, compared to 19,640 last year. There were

1,113 enthusiastic new Members of the museum,

bringing the total at 30 June 2003 to 10,043. Two

New Members Receptions were held during the year.

The wide-ranging interest and diversity o f the popular

calendar of activities devised by the Members manager

are indicated in Appendix 1.

The membership program benefited from the

support of 29 corporate Members. Further financial

support was provided by Members contributing to

the special Members appeal for funds to build models

of HMAS Sydney II, III and IV. During the year

the Members lounge was refurbished, thanks to the

generosity o f Freedom Furniture, the new Members

lounge sponsor. The distinctive new space was re

opened in October and remains a well-patronised

special benefit o f membership.

Corporate supportIn the last financial year, new sponsor partnerships were

formed with Lloyd’s Register, Lan Chile Airlines, eR&D

Pty Ltd, Aurora Expeditions, Freedom Group, Samsung,

Hasbro Zodiac, Novotel Century Sydney, and Black &

White magazine. Renewing sponsorship partners for

2002-03 are Optus, SBS, Sydney Ports Corporation, and

Wallenius Wilhelmsen.

The benefits offered to potential sponsors

are carefully worked out to match the nature and

requirements o f each company approached, and

often involve collaborative marketing strategies. This

year sponsors have attended many VIP events, taken

advantage o f their complimentary passes, and held

events within the museum using their venue hire

benefits. Each time the special benefits o f sponsorship

are experienced, the value o f the museum sponsor

partnership is reinforced.

VolunteersAt 30 June 2003, the 333 registered volunteers at the

museum had contributed 43,040 hours o f work. The total

is 1,860 hours more than for the same period last year,

and 13.3% above the museum’s target of 38,000 hours.

Altogether, since the museum’s volunteer program

began, volunteers have contributed 322,727 hours. At

$15 per hour, this equates to services worth more than

$4.84 million. The M useums’ Volunteer Investment

Ratio (MVIR), which is the total value o f volunteer

activity divided by the total financial investment in the

volunteer program (and includes wages and budget) is

a 387% investment return to the museum. Volunteers

led a record number o f 3,176 tours during 2002-2003,

with 13,243 visitors. This exceeds the previous record of

2,288 tours by 38%, and the previous record o f 10,392

visitors by 27%.

Volunteer guides conducted 3,176 general museum

tours with 13,243 participants, a 72.4% increase over

the past two years. There were 3,786 tours o f Vampire,

attended by 27,475 visitors, and 1,182 people were

escorted on 532 tours o f W harf 7. The Cape Bowling

Green Lighthouse was closed to tours this year for

restoration.

The Welcome WallThere are now 11,841 names on the Welcome Wall,

the m useum ’s lasting tribute to the six million people

who have migrated from across the seas to make their

homes in Australia. Among the 389 names inscribed

on panel 30, unveiled on 24 Novem ber 2002, were

many descendants o f migrants who arrived on the

SS Great Britain which made 32 voyages, carrying

over 25,000 passengers to Australia. The museum

hosted the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of

its first arrival (in November 1852). M r Wal Fife,

former government m inister and an SS Great Britain

descendant, was guest o f honour. M r Kostya Tszyu,

Australian featherweight boxing world champion,

unveiled panels 31 and 32, with 382 and 374 names

respectively, on 18 May 2003.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 B asis o f Acco u n tin g

The financial statements are required by clause 1(b) of Schedule 1 of the Commonwealth Authorities and

Companies Act 1997 and are a general purpose financial report.

The statements have been prepared in accordance with:

Finance Minister’s Orders (being the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies (Financial

Statements for reporting period ending on or after 30 June 2003) Orders);

• Australian Accounting Standards and Accounting Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting

Standards Board: and

• Consensus Views of the Urgent Issues Group.

The Statements of Financial Performance and Financial Position have been prepared on an accrual basis

and are in accordance with historical cost convention, except for certain assets which, as noted, are at

valuation. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or the

financial position.

Assets and liabilities are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when and only when it is

probable that future economic benefits will flow and the amounts of the assets or liabilities can be

reliably measured. Assets and liabilities arising under agreements equally proportionately unperformed

are however not recognised unless required by an accounting standard. Liabilities and assets that are

unrecognised are reported in the Schedule of Commitments and the Schedule of Contingencies.

Revenues and expenses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance when and only when the

flow or consumption or loss of economic benefit has occurred and can be reliably measured.

C o n so lida tio n and asso c ia te d com pany. The financial statements show information for the economic

entity only; this reflects the consolidated results for the parent entity, the Australian National Maritime

Museum, and its wholly owned controlled entity, The Australian National Maritime Foundation. The results

of the parent entity do not differ materially from the economic entity and have therefore not been separately

disclosed. The Australian National Maritime Foundation is a company limited by guarantee, with an initial

contribution of $385,620. See note 22

The accounting policies of The Australian National Maritime Foundation are consistent with those of the

Museum and its assets, liabilities and results have been consolidated with the parent entity accounts in

accordance with AAS24 - Consolidated Financial Reports. All internal transactions and balances have been

eliminated on consolidation.

1.2 C hanges in A cco u n tin g P o lic ie s

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those

used in 2001-2002, except in respect of:

• measurement of certain employee benefits at nominal amounts (see note 1.5);

• the initial revaluation of property, plant and equipment on a fair value basis (see note 1.12); and

• the imposition of an impairment test for non-current assets carried at cost (see note 1.12).

1.3 Revenue

The revenues described in this Note are revenues relating to the core operating activities of the Museum.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers.



52

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to

the financial assets.

Revenue from disposal of non-current assets is recognised when control of the asset has passed to the buyer.

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of contracts.

The stage of completion is determined according to the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the

estimated total costs of the transaction.

Revenues from Government - Output Appropriations

The full amount of the appropriation for departmental outputs for the year is recognised as revenue.

Resources Received Free of Charge

Services received free of charge are recognised as revenue when and only when a fair value can be

reliably determined and the services would have been purchased if they had not been donated. Use of the

resources is recognised as an expense.

Contributions of assets at no cost of acquisition or for nominal consideration are recognised at their fair

value when the asset qualifies for recognition.

1.4 T ra nsa ctions by th e G overnm ent as Owner

Capital Use Charge

A Capital Use Charge is imposed by the Government on the net assets of the Museum. The Charge is

accounted for as a dividend to Government.

In accordance with the recommendations of a review of Budget Estimates and Framework, the Government

has decided that the Charge will not operate after 30 June 2003. Therefore, the amount of the charge

payable in respect of 2003 is the amount appropriated (2002: 11% of adjusted net assets).

1.5 Em ployee B enefits

Benefits

Liabilities for services rendered by employees are recognised at the reporting date to the extent that they

have not been settled.

Liabilities for wages and salaries (including non-monetary benefits), and annual leave are measured at their

nominal amounts. Other employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months of their reporting date

are also to be measured at their nominal amounts.

The nominal amount is calculated with regard to the rates expected to be paid on settlement of the liability.

This is a change in accounting policy from last year required by the initial application of a new Accounting

Standard AASB 1028 from 1 July 2002.

All other employee benefit liabilities are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash

outflows to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Leave

The liability for employee benefits includes provision for annual leave and long service leave. No provision

has been made for sick leave as it is non-vesting and the average sick leave taken in future years by

employees is estimated to be less than the annual entitlement for sick leave.



The leave liabilities are calculated on the basis of employees' remuneration, including employer

superannuation contribution rates to the extent that the leave is likely to be taken during service rather than

paid out on termination.

The non-current portion of the liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present

value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at 30 June 2003. In

determining the present value of the liability, the Museum has taken into account attrition rates and pay

increases through promotion and inflation.

Separation and Redundancy

Provision is made for separation and redundancy benefit payments. The Museum has developed a detailed

formal plan for the terminations and has informed those employees affected.

Superannuation

Employees contribute to the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme and Public Sector Superannuation

Scheme. The liability for their superannuation benefits is recognised in the financial statements of the

Commonwealth and is settled by the Commonwealth in due course.

The Museum makes employer contributions to the Commonwealth at rates determined by the actuary to

be sufficient to meet the cost to the Commonwealth of the superannuation entitlements of the Museum’s

employees.

1.6 Leases

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee

substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased non-current assets, and operating

leases, under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits. The Museum has

no finance leases.

Operating lease payments are expensed on a basis that is representative of the pattern of benefits derived

from the leased assets.

1.7 B orrow ing C osts

All borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

1.8 G rants

The Museum recognises grant liabilities as follows.

Most grant agreements require the grantee to perform services or provide facilities, or to meet eligibility

criteria. In these cases, liabilities are recognised only to the extent that the services required have been

performed or the eligibility criteria have been satisfied by the grantee.

In cases where grant agreements are made without conditions to be monitored, liabilities are recognised on

signing of the agreement.

1.9 Cash

Cash means notes and coins held and any deposits held at call with a bank or financial institution.



54



1.10 F inancia l Instrum ents

Accounting policies in relation to financial instruments are disclosed in Note 18.

1.11 A cq u is itio n o f Asse ts

Assets are recorded at cost on acquisition except as stated below. The cost of acquisition includes the fair

value of assets transferred in exchange and liabilities undertaken.

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised as assets and revenues, at

their fair value at the date of acquisition.

1.12 P ro p e rty (Land and B u ild ings), In fra stru c tu re , P lant and Equipm ent

Asset Recognition Threshold

Purchases of property, infrastructure, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the Statement

of Financial Position, except for purchases costing less than $2,000, which are expensed in the year of

acquisition (other than where they form part of a group of similar items which are significant in total).

Revaluations

Land, buildings, infrastructure, plant and equipment and the National Maritime Collection are carried at

valuation. Revaluations undertaken up to 30 June 2002 were done on a deprival basis; revaluations since

that date are at fair value. This change in accounting policy is required by Australian Accounting Standard

AASB 1041 Revaluation of Non-Current Assets.

Fair and deprival values for each class of assets are determined as shown below.

ASSET CLASS FAIR VALUE MEASURED AT: DEPRIVAL VALUE MEASURED AT:

Land Market selling price Market selling price

Building Market selling price Depreciated replacement cost

Leasehold Improvements Depreciated replacement cost Depreciated replacement cost

Exhibition Fitouts Market selling price Depreciated replacement cost

Plant & Equipment Market selling price Depreciated replacement cost

National Maritime Collection Market selling price Market selling price

Under both deprival and fair value, assets which are surplus to requirements are measured at their net

realisable value. At 30 June 2003, there were no assets in this situation. (30 June 2002: $0).

Frequency

Land, buildings, infrastructure, plant and equipment and the National Maritime Collection are revalued

progressively in successive three-year cycles, so that no asset has a value greater than three years old.

The Museum completed its asset revaluation on 30 June 2003, with asset groups updated as follows:

• leasehold land and buildings were revalued in 2000-01;

• leasehold improvements have been revalued in 2001-02;

exhibition fitouts have been revalued by type of asset in 2001-02;

• plant and equipment, including information technology equipment, have been revalued by type of

asset in 2001-02;

• the National Maritime Collection has been revalued in 2002-03.

There was no change in the valuation of the National Maritime Collection as a result of adoption of the

change of valuation basis required by the above standard.



Assets in each class acquired after the commencement of a progressive revaluation cycle are not captured

by the progressive revaluation then in progress.

Conduct

All valuations are conducted by an independent qualified valuer.

Recoverable Amount test

From 1 July 2002, Schedule 1 no longer requires the application of the recoverable amount test to the

Museum’s non-current assets in accordance with AAS 10 Recoverable Amount of Non-Current Assets when

the primary purpose of the asset is not the generation of net cash flows.

No assets have been written to recoverable amount per AAS 10. Accordingly the change has had no

financial effect.

Depreciation and Amortisation

Depreciable property, plant and equipment assets are written off to their estimated residual values over

their estimated useful lives to the Museum using, in all cases, the straight line method of depreciation.

Leasehold improvements are amortised on a straight line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life

of the improvements or the unexpired period of the lease.

Depreciation/amortisation rates (useful lives) and methods are reviewed at each balance date and

necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as

appropriate. Residual values are re-estimated for a change in prices only when assets are revalued.

Depreciation and amortisation rates applying to each class of depreciable asset are based on the following

useful lives:

The Collection is not depreciated because of its longterm nature and the expected appreciation of its

historical value.

The aggregate amount of depreciation allowed for each class of asset during the reporting period is

disclosed in Note 4D.

1.13 Inven to ries

Inventories held for resale by the Museum store are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

1.14 Taxation

The Museum is exempt from all forms of taxation except fringe benefits tax and goods and services tax.

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST:

• Except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office; and

Except for receivables and payables.

1.15 Fore ign C urrency

Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are converted at the exchange rate at the date of the

transaction. Foreign currency receivables and payables (if any) are translated at the exchange rates current

as at balance date. Associated currency gains and losses are not material.

1.17 Insurance

The Museum has insured for risks through the Government’s insurable risk managed fund, called

‘Comcover’. Workers compensation is insured through Comcare Australia.

1.18 C om parative F igu res

Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in these financial

statements where required.

1.19 R ounding

Amounts are rounded to the nearest $1,000 except in relation to:

• remuneration of council members (note 13);

• remuneration of officers (note 15);

• remuneration of auditors (note 16);

• assets held in trust (note 20); and

• Australian National Maritime Foundation (note 22).

2. ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY

The Australian National Maritime Museum is controlled by the Commonwealth of Australia.

The Museum is dependent on appropriations from the Parliament of the Commonwealth for its continued

existence and ability to carry out its normal activities.

and studio portrait of the photographer

Frederick Garner Wilkinson (1901-1975) lived at the

City Mission at the Rocks in Sydney, as a child, where

his family were employed as managers. This gave him

a lifelong interest in shipping and the harbour. In 1919

he acquired a camera and began taking photographs of

ships and the harbour, and continued to do so until 1937,

with a break between 1922 and 1923 when the family

made a visit to England. Wilkinson lived at Mosman

and worked in the city. He took photographs on the

ferry going to work and coming home. His camera held

five glass plates, so this was the maximum number

o f photographs he took in any one day. The most

important feature of the collection is the meticulous

documentation which accompanies it. The collection

provides an extensive and well-documented coverage

of the changing styles o f shipping in the port of

APPENDIX 12 MMAPSS GRANTS 2002-003

One of this museum’s most important outreach programs

is the Maritime Museums of Australia Project Support

Scheme (MMAPSS), administered by the ANMM

and jointly funded by the museum and the Australian

Government Distributed National Collection Program.

The grants are for non-profit maritime museums and

historical societies, most of them community-based and

volunteer run, for restoration, conservation, collection

management and exhibition development projects. This

year 12 grants totalling $30,032 bring to 90 the number of

projects supported across all Australian states and most of

its territories since the scheme inception in 1995.

Queen Victoria Museum & Art Gallery, Launceston,

Tas: funding of $2,782 will assist with conservation and

exhibition of material from six wrecks, so that these can be

displayed for the first time in the foyer of the new building

at Inveresk. Conservation and documentation will increase

availability for loan or inclusion on the museum website.

Yamba Historical Society, NSW: an award of $1,550

will fund a custom-built display case to exhibit items of

local significance including the binnacle of the navy tug

HMAS Waree. Funding will assist with the purchase of

polypropylene albums for the stability and protection of a

collection of original maritime photographs.

Port Fairy Lifeboat Restoration Committee, Vic:

$3,000 for worksheets on the extensively-researched

collection o f lifeboat and rocket rescue artefacts to be

transferred to a catalogue database with photographs,

improving access for PFHLS voluntary workers, other

museums and the public.

Old Wool & Grain Store, Beachport, SA: $3,000 will

enable research with Beachport residents into changes in

fishing methods and the impact o f technological devices

on the port and its industries. The museum will begin

a series o f displays exploring the changes that time has

brought to the port. The project is part of the Coastal

Heritage Trail.

Port o f Echuca Authority, Vic: $3,000 will assist in the

collection o f oral histories of those who have made a

significant contribution to the riverboat trade and to the

historic port of Echuca from 1850 to the present. The

interviews will be available to the public on disc and

through the authority website.

Nepean Historical Society Inc, Vic: $2,200 for a

multimedia program which will complete the museum

exhibitions on maritime heritage and inform a wider

audience of the daily hazards of shipping in the notorious

Port Phillip Heads and The Rip area.

Maritime M useum of Townsville, Qld: funding of

$2,000 will open the Bay Rock Lighthouse to public

access and provide facilities for internal and external

interpretation. Material held in the museum and

responses to advertising of the project will be used to

increase knowledge of the history o f the lighthouse.

Kingston Branch of National Trust, SA: $3,000

towards preservation o f a collection o f historic

photographs relating to the history of fishing and coastal

trading at Kingston will help record local industry. The

photographs will be stored on disc and copies will be

displayed.

Echuca Historical Society, Vic: an award of $2,000

will fund the creation of a map of wreck sites of paddle

steamers and barges from Torrumbarry to Barmah

which will be used to inform an exhibition on wrecks

of the Murray River. A hands-on display will enhance

audience experience and participation.

Lady Denman Heritage Complex, NSW : $2,000 for

conservation and display o f the fishing launch Ninon,

built 1911 (pictured above left). Interpretation will link

the shipbuilding, tourism and fishing industries in Jervis

Bay and increase awareness of the importance of boat

building in Australia maritime history.

Clarence River Historical Society, NSW: a grant

o f $3,500 will stabilise and preserve an original map

of the Clarence River dated between 1891 and 1896.

of the land, and the course of the navigable river for

approximately 50 miles.

Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club, NSW: $2,000

towards digitisation o f an archival collection to make

available photographs and documents not previously
