Half model boats on show

The folk at the Paynesville Maritime Museum continue to develop new displays in the Shed at Gilsenan Reserve, and to improve and update existing ones. On the next Open Day (10 May 8.30-12.30) they will unveil the new digital screen and will run speedboat pictures - mainly from the 1950s but also including a couple of pre-WW2 shots of some amazing craft.

Ivan Bubb’s display of ‘half models’ of the boats from the main builders of Paynesville fishing boats will also be on display. Visitors can compare the variations and marvel at the quality of the workmanship. Ivan also displays models at the Lions market and can make a specific models of boats to your request.
