Lobby for the Preservation of Vessels and Buildings of Maritime Significance

This is has been an exciting and rewarding part of the Associations activities. Issues have ranged from the relocation of E-Shed on Victoria Quay through representation on Fremantle Ports Inner Harbour Community Liaison Group; to research reports informing developers of heritage issues such as the location of the first settlement at Clarence, development of a Victoria Quay maritime precinct in the West End.

New members with skills, concerns and contributions are always welcome in this area.

Maritime Book Club

The MHA Book Club is a book club with a difference; each member brings a maritime book of their choosing, be it fiction or non-fiction. After a short presentation of each book, a lively discussion usually ensues!

Meeting dates and locations vary so please contact our Secretary for further details and the date of the next meeting.
