Newcastle Maritime Collection Finds New Home

BY IAN CROUCH

After being placed in storage for several months, more than 7000 items from the Newcastle Maritime Museum are about to be dusted off and prepared for a new home.

The Maritime Museum was forced to close in May due to mounting debts.

The collection, including a 200-year-old painting and a 12 metre, 6 tonne boat, have been held in secure storage since then.

It's now been confirmed they'll go back on exhibition early next year at the Newcastle Museum.
