Maritime Museum - Monday

Went to the Queensland Maritime museum today.

Looked over the HMAS Diamantina which served during the WW2.

The drydock that she sits in completely flooded during the 2011 floods and she refloated. Yes ships are still called she although apparently lloyd's tried to change to it but it resulted in an uproar so ship's are still she.

The Diamantina and a lighthouse ship on display in the drydock.The last photo (Through glass) show the Diamantina floating and the lightship sinking.
