to grow and adapt in a world of constant and rapid
change – in communications and technology,
in social, economic and political trends, and in its local
and national environment.
The museum’s ambitions are large and long-term,
and the steps towards them in this year 2012–13 were
necessarily initial and preparatory – but I am pleased
to report to you in this publication some tangible and
substantial achievements towards those longer goals.
Without question this ambitious program was
launched in a period of global economic uncertainty,
which we can see translating into financial
uneasiness in our own environment, despite our
nation’s sound fundamentals. This will make getting
the necessary stakeholder support for the museum’s
ambitions even more of a challenge. As the year
advanced, looming pressures on the museum’s
resources signalled hard decisions, which had
to be taken in the longer-term interest.
In all this, I would like more than anything else
to pay my heartfelt tribute to the museum’s staff,
our Volunteers, Members and my fellow Councillors.
Their willingness to embrace an extended agenda of
change, their creativity and resourcefulness in effecting
it, their ability to adapt to difficult circumstances
and above all their enthusiasm for this very special
organisation deserve our admiration and gratitude,
as they provide for an exciting future.
I also wish to acknowledge with gratitude the support
of our former Ministers for the Arts, the Hon Simon
Cream MP and the Hon Tony Burke MP, the current
Minister, the Hon George Brandis QC, and the Ministry
for the Arts, and the contribution made by Ms Ann Sherry
during her period of office on the Council.
Peter Dexter AM FAICD
Chairman
Australian National Maritime Museum Council
It’s my pleasure, once again, to present the Australian
National Maritime Museum’s Annual Report for the
period 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013. This Annual Report
addresses the first year of the museum’s Strategic Plan
for the triennium 2012–2015, a key planning document
that was developed and tabled in accordance with the
Australian National Maritime Museum Act 1990.
This was a year in which the whole museum
embarked, with energy and determination, on some
of the most far-reaching changes to the organisation
that most of us can recall. The changes incorporate
the museum’s physical infrastructure, its staffing and
working arrangements, and extend to the way in which
the organisation conceives of the discipline at the heart
of its mission, as staff begin a process of redefining the
‘master narratives’ of the national maritime history that
we present, and re-examine the way we present it.
The purpose is to revitalise an organisation that
has, in the 22 years since it opened to the public,
matured and developed into a respected national
and international cultural institution, but which
nevertheless understands the need to continue

Our strategic objectives are set out clearly in the current
strategic plan, and can be seen at a glance on the
preceding pages. The year’s achievements can be
placed in that framework.
To be a must-visit museum
This year saw a welcome turnaround in our crucial
visitation figures, as we welcomed 520,502 site visitors,
a 33% increase on 2011–12. This made us the most-
visited museum in Sydney’s highly competitive market
for visitor attractions.
The exhibitions that delivered these numbers
are catalogued in a separate section immediately
following this overview. Their range and variety
are notable. In particular, however, our Visitor Experience
and Commercial Services staff worked intensively with
creative and media services to renew a focus
on the family sector over the vital summer months and
beyond, creating a successful marketing campaign with
the slogan ‘Choose your own adventure’ centred on
a specially created character, Lucy. The emphasis was
on action, activity and interactivity, and combined the
attractions Pirates! and Wetworld, both developed
by our own staff, with Ships and the Sea from Finland.
Spring of 2012 saw the return of the museum’s
Classic & Wooden Boat Festival with a greater
investment in a theatrical presentation of the precinct,
combining a light show and popular entertainers.
Its centrepiece was the classic visiting yacht Hurrica V,
which was soon to reach cinema screens as a key
location of The Great Gatsby.
The goal is to consolidate and amplify our key
attractions; to enliven and enhance the waterfront
experience; to renew, refresh and re-present the core
gallery content; and to provide a viable new exhibition
space. These plans reach well beyond the normal three-
year time frame of our mandated strategic-planning
process, with the result that our present 2012–2015
strategic plan is entirely geared towards laying a solid
foundation for them.
This year saw us putting in place the cornerstones
of our ambitions. A fundamental one is the development
of a ten-year master plan for permanent and temporary
exhibitions, which was well under way. We undertook a
review of the museum’s current site architectural master
plan, and immediately built a major new temporary
exhibitions space. We began the development of
new interpretation plans for our vessels, particularly
Endeavour, Onslow and Vampire, as well as our wharves
and pontoons. Work began on a new communications
strategy, along with new sponsorship and corporate
development strategies. And equally important
were the steps taken towards the development and
implementation of a digital outreach strategy.

Director’s overview
12~13
The year on which we are reporting, 2012–13, saw the beginning of one of the most far-reaching programs of innovation and redevelopment that the Australian National Maritime Museum has undertaken since its opening in 1991. It touches on just about every facet of the museum’s operations and facilities, and is one that will occupy us throughout this decade and beyond.
1312
To be acknowledged both within Australia and abroad as the nation’s leading authority on maritime heritage and affairs
The year ended with the opening of East of India
– Forgotten trade with Australia, a showcase for our own
curators’ scholarship. It was the culmination of years of
research and contact with colleagues in India, including
a series of workshops held in Mumbai and Kochi in
February 2013 with Indian cultural institutions, aided
by a grant from the Australia-India Council. It highlights
the museum’s commitment to engaging with the wider
Asian and Pacific region, and is just one of a number
of activities planned that respond to the Australian
Government White Paper Australia in the Asian Century.
Crucial to this strategic objective is lifting the
museum’s media profile across Australia, and this year
we featured in more than 1,000 media stories around
the country, highlighting many of our projects and
exhibitions. To assist our in-house team we engaged
PR agency Impact Communications to strategically
generate media interest in the museum’s master plan
and our new initiatives, and to position us as a ‘museum
of the future’. Armed with research identifying market
segments in a way that provided new insights into
1 The year in review Director’s overview
To extend our reach and outreach
This vital objective is covered in detail in a following
section of this report, with detailed accounts of our
most important strategies to extend our resources
in maritime heritage nationwide and beyond.
They include key programs such as our annual MMAPSS
grant scheme, and our sailing ‘ambassador’, the replica
of James Cook’s Endeavour. An innovation this year
was to link high schools into our maritime archaeology
fieldwork program by webcasts and teleconferencing.
This took place during the March 2013 expedition of the
ANMM archaeology team to Ferguson Reef on the Great
Barrier Reef, investigating shipwrecks from the India
trade. Another key strategy focus this year has been
the launch of a digitisation strategy 2013–15, to make
our significant and rich collection resources more widely
available. It identifies, prioritises, guides and enables
creation of new digital content and the management
of existing data to build digital collections suitable for
a wide range of initiatives.

1 The year in review Director’s overview
To rejuvenate our museum and our site
This year we made a major investment in laser rooftop
projection technology in order to use our landmark
museum building as a canvas – the largest in Sydney.
The inaugural feature, Waves of Migration, explored
the compelling stories of those who have migrated
to Australia by sea, screened on the dramatic roofline
of the museum’s Philip-Cox designed building.
The light show was developed and written by museum
staff working with architectural specialists from The
Electric Canvas. The Waves of Migration rooftop project
won international recognition when it received a silver
medal at the annual MUSE awards for outstanding
achievement in museum media to enhance the
museum experience and engage new audiences.
We then used this new asset to become a part
of Sydney’s successful and popular winter festival
Vivid: Lights, music and ideas, building on our exhibition
East of India to develop a playful and evocative
projection, Colours of India. It was complemented by
dramatic lighting of the museum vessels, lighthouse and
waterfront, and achieved our aim of better connecting
the museum to local communities and Sydney-wide
festival events.
Moving swiftly to carry out elements of a revised
site master plan, the ageing Commerce Gallery was
disassembled and in its place we constructed a major
temporary exhibition space, the North Gallery.
It’s located adjacent to an existing temporary exhibition
space, Gallery One, which is also being reconfigured
in order to address significant shortcomings and to give
the flexibility to contribute to income as a commercial
this year we featured in more than 1000 media stories around the country highlighting many of our projects and exhibitions
venue. Cox Richardson architects were engaged
to design improvements that better relate Gallery
One to the new North Gallery.
Under the revised site master plan, two major
enhancements were identified as priorities and work
began immediately on realising them. Stage 1 is the
RAN Pavilion, to be located on the South Wharf flanked
by the major historic former naval vessels, Daring class
destroyer Vampire and Oberon class submarine Onslow
– considered the museum’s major assets along with the
Endeavour replica. It will provide a pre-visit engagement
to improve visitors’ experience of them, as well as a
viable alternative for those unable to access the vessels
for whatever reason. The pavilion will be a focus of
the centenary of the RAN and its participation in World
War 1. At the year’s end tenders had been issued to a
shortlist of architectural firms for the $11 million project.
Stage 2 will be the Discovery Centre, an interactive
learning facility with water-based activities and science
learning, linked to the school curriculum. It will provide
a significant increase in facilities for formal educational
activities. A creative producer has been engaged to
develop the content brief, and a functional design brief
has been commissioned.
We began a longer-term project of relocating most
staff to the museum’s Wharf 7 Maritime Heritage Centre.
This will liberate significant spaces of the main museum
building to enable more flexibility in installing public
facilities, and increase commercial returns from our
properties. This is part of a longer-term plan to further
diversify the museum’s revenue sources.

the demolition of its track. With it the museum loses an
asset that formerly delivered some visitors to the nearby
monorail station as well as carrying museum advertising,
although this is not expected to be a major factor.
The massive Barangaroo construction project for the
redevelopment of ‘The Hungry Mile’, the former historic
wharf precinct on the opposite side of Darling Harbour,
is the other major change in our immediate environment.
The construction has little direct impact on us – other
than removing the last facet of a working waterfront
that once provided an authentic maritime activity linking
directly to the museum’s subject matter. We are studying
the implications and opportunities of the new business,
residential and tourist populations that its completion
will bring. To assist with this the museum this year
joined a Darling Harbour development alliance of key
stakeholders to implement strategies during the four-
year precinct upgrade.
Outlook
A strong suite of programs for the coming period
leads to confidence that this year’s achievements
in visitation, revenue, profile and reputation will continue.
The museum has positioned itself strongly to participate
in and benefit from the International Fleet Review, which
celebrates the centenary of the arrival of the first Royal
Australian Navy fleet into Sydney Harbour, bringing
over 40 warships, a dozen tall ships and 10,000 naval
personnel from more than 20 nations. The museum’s
vigorous program is led by its replica of James Cook’s
Endeavour, which will have a busy public sailing program
throughout.
A major attraction over spring and summer 2013–14
will be the exhibition Vikings – Beyond the legend, a joint
venture by the Swedish History Museum, Stockholm,
and Museums Partner, Austria. It explores the Viking
world in the light of the most recent archaeological
discoveries, and includes several life-sized vessel
reconstructions. This international touring exhibition
brings us one of the two or three quintessential
maritime topics of virtually universal appeal. In addition,
its presentation and packaging – combining rare and
important artefacts with innovative, ultra-modern display
and interpretation techniques – signal the direction we
see our own exhibitions and renewed galleries taking.
Beyond 2013–14 lie the important centenaries
of the beginning of World War 1, and the nation-defining
events of the victory of the first HMAS Australia over
the German raider Emden, and then the anniversary
of Gallipoli with its lesser-known story of the Australian
submarine AE2. With our RAN Pavilion coming on line
in time for these centenaries, and their scope to build
even further on our collaborations with the RAN,
these will be of great significance to the museum.

Signals, which celebrated its 100th issue during 2012–13, can rightly be considered the world’s leading maritime museum periodical
our audiences’ motivations, we invested in a brand-
refreshing effort that signalled our aspirations to both
consumers and institutions in our sphere of influence.
This was applied to key promotional and information
assets, including the museum’s website, and notably
to our flagship publication, the quarterly journal Signals.
Its March 2013 issue came out in a generous, expanded
format with a sophisticated design template that has
been very well received. Signals, which celebrated its
100th issue during 2012–13, can rightly be considered
the world’s leading maritime museum periodical,
communicating the work of the museum and its people
not just to our Members and Australian readers but
to our peers worldwide.
To realise the potential from our investment in new ICT infrastructure and systems
A strong focus for the museum has been upgrading
its IT system environment over a period of years,
with particular activity in this financial year on the
Financial Management System (FMS) and Customer
Relations Management software. The FMS reporting
tool was given priority and was implemented from the
bottom up for forecasting and 2013–14 budgeting.
CRM user requirements were finalised and went to
tender; this was more than an upgrade, as the project
is to eliminate bespoke, customised databases that
have proliferated across the museum. The long-running
electronic document and records management system
(EDRMS) project neared completion with the beginning
of roll-out, training and support to users. An entirely new
performance management process was inaugurated
with, for the first time, easy online access enabling input
from employee and supervisor. Deloittes was selected
to migrate the museum’s website from the obsolete
Unity content management system to the new asset.
To increase our revenues from non-government sources
Admissions revenue of $2.4 million from this year’s
strong increase in visitor numbers set another museum
record, surpassing admissions for any other year
in the museum’s history, including the Sydney Olympic
year. Commercial services revenue for the year was
up 45% on the previous year and 21% ahead
of budget, despite key closures affecting venue hire
performance. There was an emphasis on revenue
opportunities in the course of our extensive review
of the uses of all museum facilities and spaces.
A review of the museum’s ticketing prices identified
strategic changes to the packages we offer.
1 The year in review Director’s overview
The review process is extending to the vital membership
and commercial partnership programs, commencing
in the year under review and extending into 2013–14.
To invest in and develop our people
Phase 1 of the ANMM staff restructure was enacted,
establishing two new divisions and a new executive
team. The emphasis was to refocus the museum’s
audience, commercial and exhibition activities.
New appointments confirmed experienced leaders
as assistant directors of two key museum divisions,
and strengthened the fields of research, project
management and finance. Moves were taken
to secure additional capacity in the areas of education
and Indigenous cultures. Restructuring has been
undertaken in a participatory and consultative process
that has included information and Q&A sessions,
small-group forums in affected areas, and the
museum’s Joint Consultative Council of management,
staff and union representatives.
The need to review future staff requirements is
heightened by pressures on the budget brought about
by a combination of the government’s efficiency
dividend, a commitment to the salary increases
of the present enterprise agreement, and substantial
inflationary pressures such as escalating energy costs.
By the end of the year it was clear that staff numbers
and associated costs would need to be scaled back,
and to manage this a temporary freeze on staff
recruitment was combined with a voluntary redundancy
program, taken up by three staff as at 30 June 2013.
When the planned balance of expenditure and income
is attained, the museum will look to invest in new staff
and product initiatives.
Operating environment
The impact of the very high Australian dollar has been
widely noted in respect of inbound overseas tourists.
The museum has traditionally drawn a substantial
proportion of its visitation from this market, owing
to its location in the prime tourist drawcard of Darling
Harbour. As mentioned above, however, our visitation
numbers and revenue increased this year, negating any
losses from this market. A larger concern, also related
to our location, will be the coming period of demolition
followed by major reconstruction of the exhibition and
conference facilities of Darling Harbour. While its effects
on tourist numbers are unknown as yet, we are moving
to capitalise on the demand for conference facilities
during the construction period. At the end of the financial
year the Sydney monorail ceased operation prior to

East of India – Forgotten trade with Australia
The early Australian colonies,
at the ‘ends of the earth’ from
Europe, turned to nearby Asia for
survival and growth. East of India
– Forgotten trade with Australia
tracked our colonial links with India,
which became a lifeline for the
struggling colonists. An essential
part of the story reveals the power
and monopoly of the Honourable
East India Company, or ‘John
Company’ as it came to be known,
its rise and its inevitable decline.

Yirrkala Bark land rights petitions
to Federal Parliament. Five of the
10 barks on display from the
museum’s Saltwater Collection
were evidence in a 2008 Australian
High Court case that recognised
traditional owners and their use
of coastline and coastal waters.
These important bark paintings
are the spiritual and legal basis
of the Yolngu people’s ownership
of saltwater country in north-east

On their own – Britain’s child migrants
From the 1860s until the 1970s,
more than 100,000 British children
were sent to Australia, Canada and
other Commonwealth countries
through child migration schemes.
The lives of these children changed
dramatically and fortunes varied.
Some forged new futures; others
suffered lonely, brutal childhoods.
All experienced dislocation and
separation from family and homeland.

12~13Maritime archaeology
The USA Gallery is the legacy of a generous endowment
by the USA to Australia in the bicentennial year, 1988.
Its purpose is to highlight the significant maritime
relations between the two countries on either side of the
Pacific Rim. This year saw the retirement of longstanding
USA Gallery Curator Paul Hundley, and the appointment
of his successor, USA Gallery Program and Development
Manager Richard Wood.
Following an independent external review of the
USA Gallery, an independent academic and community-
based committee has been convened to provide
guidance in the development of a new narrative for the
gallery. This will be developed within the context of an
overall redevelopment of the museum’s core galleries.
The first meeting of the USA Gallery Community Advisory
committee was in November 2012.
To promote maritime links between our two
countries, the museum awards an annual fellowship
to a museum professional from the United States.
This year there were two recipients. Maxwell J Plarr,
Head Sailing Coach of Christopher Newport University
Varsity Sailing Team and Afterguard of the Christopher
Newport Sailing Foundation, used ANMM collections
and its research library to study aspects of competitive
yachting between the two nations. Rebecca Torsell
was awarded a fellowship to work with the conservation
department in their efforts to preserve recovered
marine artefacts. While at the museum in February
and March 2013, she focused on examining
the quantitative assessment and desalination
methodologies for cupreous (copper-based) artefacts,
and assisted in a major in-situ conservation project
on the HMS Sirius anchor.
The four trained underwater archaeologists of this
important museum program continued the work that
receives extensive media coverage to inform the public.
The museum’s scientific diving team participated
in a number of projects over the last year, including an
expedition to Ferguson Reef, 600 kilometres north
of Cairns, to survey a series of shipwrecks in the vicinity
of the Raine Island Entrance, including the Indian-built
troop ship Fergusson (1841), the Indian-built opium
trader Morning Star (1814) and the Javanese-built,
Calcutta-registered merchant ship Frederick (1818).
This successful expedition – sponsored by the
Silentworld Foundation and in collaboration with the
University of Sydney – also featured two live webcasts
from the expedition vessels via the Department of
Education (NSW) Distance and Rural Technologies
(DART) communication system.
Curator Kieran Hosty collaborated with a number
of universities and organisations, including Flinders
University (South Australia); James Cook University
(Queensland); Lizard Island Research Station (Australian
Museum); Maritime Archaeological Association of
Queensland; the Australasian Institute for Maritime
Archaeology; Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority;
Department of Environment and Heritage Protection
(Queensland); Heritage Office, Department of Planning
and Environment (NSW); Heritage Division, Department
of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and
Communities (Federal); and The Silentworld Foundation
regarding ongoing maritime archaeological research
projects in New South Wales and Queensland.
The scientific diving team undertook regular training
and test dives in Sydney Harbour, including survey work
on the paddle steamer Herald (1884), Royal Shepherd
(1890) and Centurion (1887), as well as providing
services to museum infrastructure by conducting
underwater surveys and inspections of the museum’s
historic vessels and pontoons.
The museum tendered for and a completed a
contract for the maritime archaeology component of the
Kurnell Oil Terminal Redevelopment Project in Botany
Bay, run by the Australian Museum Business Service.

External relations
2012–13 was an excellent year for lifting the museum’s
media profile across the country, with much media
interest generated in both the museum’s exhibitions
and its future. The museum featured in more than
1000 media stories around the country, which focused
on a variety of museum projects and exhibitions.
PR agency Impact Communications was engaged
to strategically generate media interest in the museum’s
Master Plan and new initiatives and to position the
museum as a ‘museum of the future’. They have
generated more than 100 stories, including interviews
with ANMM Director Kevin Sumption in The Australian
and The Sydney Morning Herald.
This summer’s first projection show, Waves of
Migration, launched on Australia Day, created much
interest as a new initiative for the museum, and was
featured on SBS and ABC TV news. An interview
on the centenary of the sinking of the submarine AE2
generated more than 23 media clips around the country,
giving focus to the future RAN Pavilion, while media
surrounding the maritime archaeology expedition to the
Coral Sea brought attention to the museum’s growing
focus on education and the planned Discovery Centre.
Digital outreach
Over the past financial year the museum’s existing social
media presences have seen strong growth. The number
of Facebook active monthly users has almost tripled,
rising from 1,418 to 4,198, and our Twitter followers
have increased by more than 2,400 to 6,150 people.

Travelling exhibition program
As part of our mandate to present Australian maritime
history across Australia, our travelling exhibitions are
important to our outreach program. Small and larger
exhibitions are toured to many regions and states.
Supported by a grant from the federal government’s
National Collections Institution Tour and Outreach
(NCITO) program, On their own – Britain’s child migrants
was presented at the Western Australian Maritime
Museum, Perth; National Archives, Canberra; Albury
LibraryMuseum; and Tasmanian Museum and Gallery,
Hobart. The Sail Away program – smaller exhibitions
of paintings, prints and photographs, complete with
education and marketing material – travels to many
regional venues without support staff. Freshwater
Saltwater – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
prints (also supported by an NCITO grant) was shown
at Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery and Bribie Island
Seaside Museum, Queensland, and Wrecks, reefs and
the Mermaid was shown at Manning Regional Art Gallery,
NSW. In 2012–13 exhibitions on the road reached
39,955 visitors. For further information about the
museum’s exhibitions, refer to pages 18–27.
Curatorial sections
The work of the curatorial staff in developing exhibitions,
providing professional services and advice, and
partnering with a diverse range of organisations
is reflected in many sections of this annual report.
Section 1: The Year in Review includes a catalogue
of the year’s exhibitions. Publications, lectures, and
media appearances by members of the curatorial
sections are listed in Appendixes 4, 5 and 6.
Most of the curatorial staff were engaged in
researching and writing entries for the major new
museum publication, 100 Stories from the Australian
National Maritime Museum, which was published
in October 2012. The Nawi project (developed from
the conference Nawi – exploring Australia’s Indigenous
watercraft held in May–June 2012) has gathered
momentum to become a collaborative research and
outreach program to promote Indigenous watercraft
and cultural sustainability.
Outreach programs linked to our exhibition East
of India – Forgotten Trade with Australia included
professional development workshops held by ANMM
staff Michael Crayford, Nigel Erskine and Johanna
Nettleton in Mumbai and Kochi, India, in February 2013.
The workshops were undertaken in collaboration with

Instagram, which has garnered more than 6,000 ‘likes’,
545 followers and nearly 350 comments.
The museum’s blog has maintained a strong and
consistent community, averaging 5,000 visits a month.
HM Bark Endeavour replica
The museum operates the acclaimed replica of James
Cook’s HM Bark Endeavour, arguably the most famous
ship of exploration in Australian history due to Cook’s
stature as the pre-eminent navigator of his time,
and to its charting of the Australian east coast which led
directly to the British settlement of Australia in 1788.
The replica, which the museum operates under the
original name HM Bark Endeavour, is a meticulously
researched re-creation of an 18th-century ship, which
in museum mode offers authentically fitted-out living
decks and cabins. It is also a fully surveyed voyaging
vessel with 20th-century machinery, cooking and
hygiene facilities hidden in its lower hold. This enables
the museum to operate the vessel and voyage it with
a core professional crew and paying ‘voyage crew’
who participate fully in watch-keeping and sail handling
and so experience 18th-century seamanship.
The ship’s voyages around Australia are a vital part
of the museum’s outreach program, when the ship
is set up in museum mode in interstate and regional
ports. This year the voyaging program was closer to the
ship’s home port, while a major slipping in the Captain
Cook graving dock at Sydney’s Garden Island enabled
renewal of the ship’s 1A and 2D surveys, carried out by
the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. These surveys
enable the ship to continue its long-term blue-water
voyaging program. Throughout the 2012–13 financial
year, visitor numbers to Endeavour varied between
about 150 and 800 a day.
Welcome Wall
The Welcome Wall is the museum’s tribute to migrants,
and encourages people to recall and record their
stories of coming to live in Australia. Its online database
makes these stories available to family historians and
researchers everywhere. Registrants and the public
can search for relatives and friends online, and submit
pictures and further details about their stories, and in
doing so create a monumental and practical account
of migration to Australia. In the period, 1,043 names
were added to the Welcome Wall, originating from
103 countries – plus one person who was born at sea.
Sydney Heritage Fleet
This community-based non-profit organisation formerly
known as the Sydney Maritime Museum began in 1965
and specialises in restoring and operating heritage
steam and sailing vessels. The Australian National
Maritime Museum provides a high level of support
to SHF and its large volunteer base by donating
extensive office, collection storage and workshop
accommodation and services, plus berthing for its major
asset, the barque James Craig, at our Wharf 7 Maritime
Heritage Centre.
The Australian Register of Historic Vessels
The Australian Register of Historic Vessels (www.anmm.
gov.au/arhv) is an online database building a national
picture of historic vessels and their designers, builders
and owners. ARHV periodically extends its national
reach with award ceremonies held to recognise owners
in other parts of Australia. The newest additions to
the register are listed in each issue of the museum’s
quarterly journal Signals. ARHV held its first national
Council meeting outside Sydney, in Brisbane, at the
Queensland Maritime Museum in February 2013
in association with the conference of the Australian
Maritime Museums Council. The visit also included
a visit to the historic boatyard of Norman R Wright and
Sons, inspection of archives and an award ceremony
to acknowledge Queensland owners of historic craft
and contributors to the ARHV.
eMuseum
The eMuseum project (www.anmm.gov.au/emuseum)
is digitising the National Maritime Collection for access
by people who cannot visit the museum. At the end
of the reporting period, an additional 1953 objects
had been digitised for public access, making a total
of 26,800 items, or 41% of the collection.

Vaughan Evans Library
The museum’s public research facility, named for
the maritime historian whose personal library became
the core of its now unrivalled maritime history collection,
provides personalised research enquiry services to
those unable to visit in person. This well-appreciated
public enquiry service was more in demand than ever
this year, with 2,728 requests (compared with 1,757
last year). Of these, 616 were in-person visits, including
quite a few overseas tourists. Our clients have always
wanted more than just to access a specialist physical
collection and the demand for research advice and to
add value to family history research continues to grow.
This reinforces the importance of the role of the library
staff in helping to navigate the constantly expanding
array of information resources and in providing places
for people to interact.
The library is an expert advisor on the complex
and constantly expanding array of online information
resources for historical maritime research. With partners
Smedia, the library added new digitised items to the
Vaughan Evans Digital Library.

Indemnities and insurance premiums for officers
No current or former officer has been given any
indemnity and there are no agreements to give any.
Normal directors and officers insurance is carried
through Comcover and the annual premium was
$5,300.
Workplace health and safety
The museum has a comprehensive and compliant
workplace health and safety (WH&S) management
framework, affirming its commitment to provide
and maintain a working environment that is safe
for employees, is without risk to their health and
provides adequate facilities for their welfare at work.
This commitment also extends to the museum’s
volunteers, contractors and visitors.
The WH&S committee met six times. The committee
includes elected staff representatives from three
designated work areas and all have received appropriate
training. Regular workplace inspections occurred and
staff have access to ergonomic assessments as well
as free screen-based vision testing and influenza shots.
Outdoor staff are provided with protective clothing,
sunglasses and sunscreen, and workshop staff are
given biannual hearing tests.
WH&S is included in the site induction given
to all new employees, volunteers and contractors.
Online hazard identification and accident and incident
databases have been established to facilitate
notification and remedial action. There were no
reportable incidents under section 68 of the Work
Health and Safety Act 2011 but there were two claims
for compensation by staff and 69 staff days were lost
due to injury.
Individual sections also have their own health
and safety commitments. Members undertook risk
assessments for all off-site events, especially cruises
and walks. Facilities and Support Services completed an
audit of the exhibition building and Wharf 7 for BCA Fire
and Essential Services. This process included disabled
access provisions and provides a way forward in the
master plan. It also revealed some deficiencies in design
of the Wharf 7 Facility, which have been, or are in the
process of being, addressed. Information Services
and ICT undertook initiatives to ensure all ICT work
is carried out with regard to WHS, including provision
of ergonomic equipment to staff where and as required,
cable management for staff to improve safety during
office relocations, and rationalisation and clean-up
of ICT storage spaces, behind galleries, theatre and
Waterside Studio. ICT also has a representative on the
Accessibility Action Plan Committee.
A specialist consultant, EMI Shielding, was
engaged to undertake a detailed survey of the levels
of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) throughout the
museum. As a precautionary measure staff in areas
of EMR levels above 4mG were moved to other areas
while installation of shielding was investigated.
Environment protection and biodiversity
The museum conducted an energy audit of the site
services, including lighting and air conditioning systems.
This revealed savings from business case studies which
conservatively will provide 30 per cent less energy use
within the complex. These works will include but are not
limited to:
1 Control upgrade – provision of air pressurisation,
economy cycle introduced and CO2 sensors.
2 Inclusion of varispeed drives on six air handling units,
supply and return air fans (where applicable).
3 Minimisation of infiltration low and high levels and
including air locks where appropriate.
4 Installation of 4MW cooling tower to reduce reliance
on sea water for heat transfer.
5 Optional project (if #4 is not appropriate): shell in
tube heat exchanger to supplement existing plate
heat exchangers.
6 Building Management System (BMS) introduction
of variable chilled and condenser water flow control.
Temperature reset function on BMS control of
chillers (summer and winter).
An engineered solution into excess gas consumption
in the HVAC system for reheat has been finalised.
Estimated savings are about 30 per cent. The new
equipment will be installed in September/October when
the weather is conducive.
Engineering a solution to access the roof of the
exhibition building has been completed. The next phase
is to install the system to enable access to all areas,
which will allow refurbishment to take place safely.
Information Services and ICT sends e-waste for
recycling by either Sydney City Council e-waste program
or a commercial program. Redundant audio visual
equipment is recycled through eBay, and all toners are
recycled. A battery recycling program continues, and old
server equipment is donated to the charity Giant Steps.
Use of the library’s multifunction scanner continues
to halve the number of paper copies accompanying
public enquiries.
1 The year in review Statutory information
Corporate governance
The museum is a statutory authority within the arts
portfolio. Its enabling legislation, the Australian
National Maritime Museum Act 1990 (the ANMM Act),
established a governing council to ensure the proper
and efficient performance of its functions. At 30 June
2013, the council comprised eleven members,
including the museum’s director and a representative
of the Royal Australian Navy.
The full council met four times during the reporting
period. Business is facilitated through special
committees which reduced in number from six to four
during the course of the year (refer to Appendix 12).
They meet in advance of each full council meeting,
and additionally if required, providing advice on the
matters identified in their respective charters. Each
committee apart from Finance, Risk Audit, Capital Works,
Assets and Systems comprises the director and at
least two other councillors, one of whom acts as chair.
All councillors are welcome to attend any committee
meeting in an ex-officio capacity.
The council operates under a governance policy that
includes a requirement for periodic self-assessment,
an exercise which was undertaken during the course
of the year. A number of councillors are members of the
Australian Institute of Company Directors and subject
to its code of conduct. All councillors are aware of the
need to comply with both the letter and the spirit of
relevant legislation. Operations are informed by the
highest museological standards and codes of practice
and all staff are bound by the Australian Public Service
Values and Code of Conduct.
The museum prepares triennial strategic plans
and annual operating plans for ministerial approval in
accordance with the ANMM Act. The minister receives
reports on matters of significance, and the chairman
and director meet with the minister as required.
A senior departmental representative attends all council
meetings as an observer and copies of the minutes are
subsequently provided to the minister and department.
The museum is also subject to the Commonwealth
Authorities and Companies Act 1997 (CAC Act) and
in addition to its regular annual reporting obligations
to the minister and the parliament, also lodges a CAC
Act compliance report with its portfolio minister and
the Minister for Finance and Deregulation.
All museum staff are aware of the importance of
good governance, and governance is a standing item
on the agenda for the executive management group’s
fortnightly meetings.
Privacy legislation
The museum provides information as required to the
Privacy Commissioner for inclusion in the Personal
Information Digest. No reports by the Privacy
Commissioner under Section 30 of the Privacy Act
1988 were received during 2012–13.
Freedom of information
There were two requests under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982. One was declined and the other
was granted in part. The museum’s FOI officer for the
period was Russell Smylie.
Judicial decisions and reviews by outside bodies
There were no judicial decisions that affected
the museum during the period under review.
There were also no reports on museum operations
by the Auditor-General, a parliamentary committee
or the Commonwealth Ombudsman.
Effects of ministerial directions
The museum received no formal notification or
ministerial directions during the reporting period.
The National Code of Practice for the Construction
Industry, the Commonwealth Procurement and Cost
Recovery Guidelines, and the Foreign Exchange Policy
continue to apply to the museum by virtue of notices
issued in preceding reporting periods.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Objectives The Australian National Maritime Museum is an Australian Government controlled entity. The role of the museum is to promote a broad interpretation of maritime heritage and culture, to preserve it and to bring it to life. The museum is structured to meet one outcome, being increased knowledge, appreciation and enjoyment of Australia’s maritime heritage by managing the National Maritime Collection and staging programs, exhibitions and events. The continued existence of the Australian National Maritime Museum in its present form and with its present programs is dependent on Government policy and on continuing funding by Parliament. 1.1 Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements The Financial Statements and notes are required by clause 1(b) of Schedule 1 to the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 (CAC Act) and are a General Purpose Financial Report. The Financial Statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with: • Finance Minister’s Orders (or FMOs) for reporting period ending on or after 1 July 2012;
and • Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that apply for the reporting period.
The Financial Statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and in accordance with historical cost convention, except for certain assets at fair value. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or the financial position. The Financial Statements are presented in Australian dollars and values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise specified (see note 1.21). Assets and liabilities are recognised in the Balance Sheet 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. However, assets and liabilities arising under agreements equally proportionately unperformed are not recognised unless required by an Accounting Standard. Liabilities and assets that are unrealised are reported in the Schedule of Commitments and the Schedule of Contingencies. Revenues and expenses are recognised in the Income Statement when and only when the flow, consumption or loss of economic benefit has occurred and can be reliably measured. Consolidation and associated company 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 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

therefore not been separately disclosed. The Australian National Maritime Foundation is a company limited by guarantee. See note 17. 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 the Accounting Standards. All internal transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. 1.2 Significant Accounting Judgement and Estimates In applying the accounting policies listed in this note, judgement has been made as to the fair value that has significant impact on the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The fair value of land has been taken to be the market value of similar properties. The buildings are purpose built and were independently valued. The fair value of heritage and cultural assets has been taken to be the book value or the market value as determined by independent valuers. No accounting assumptions or estimates have been identified that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next accounting period. 1.3 New Accounting Standards Adoption of new Australian Accounting Standard Requirements No accounting standard has been adopted earlier than the application date as stated in the standard. No new accounting standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are applicable in the current period have had a material financial affect on the Australian National Maritime Museum. Future Australian Accounting Standard Requirements New standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations that are applicable to future periods have been issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board. It is estimated that adopting these pronouncements, when effective, will have no material impact on future reporting periods. 1.4 Revenue Revenue from Government Funding received or receivable from agencies (appropriated to the agency as a CAC Act body payment item for payment to the Australian National Maritime Museum) is recognised as Revenue from Government unless they are in the nature of equity injections. Other Types of Revenue Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Objectives The Australian National Maritime Museum is an Australian Government controlled entity. The role of the museum is to promote a broad interpretation of maritime heritage and culture, to preserve it and to bring it to life. The museum is structured to meet one outcome, being increased knowledge, appreciation and enjoyment of Australia’s maritime heritage by managing the National Maritime Collection and staging programs, exhibitions and events. The continued existence of the Australian National Maritime Museum in its present form and with its present programs is dependent on Government policy and on continuing funding by Parliament. 1.1 Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements The Financial Statements and notes are required by clause 1(b) of Schedule 1 to the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 (CAC Act) and are a General Purpose Financial Report. The Financial Statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with: • Finance Minister’s Orders (or FMOs) for reporting period ending on or after 1 July 2012;
and • Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that apply for the reporting period.
The Financial Statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and in accordance with historical cost convention, except for certain assets at fair value. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or the financial position. The Financial Statements are presented in Australian dollars and values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise specified (see note 1.21). Assets and liabilities are recognised in the Balance Sheet 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. However, assets and liabilities arising under agreements equally proportionately unperformed are not recognised unless required by an Accounting Standard. Liabilities and assets that are unrealised are reported in the Schedule of Commitments and the Schedule of Contingencies. Revenues and expenses are recognised in the Income Statement when and only when the flow, consumption or loss of economic benefit has occurred and can be reliably measured. Consolidation and associated company 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

The liability for employee benefits includes provision for annual leave and long service leave. No provision has been made for sick leave as all sick leave 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 2013. 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 entity recognises a provision for termination when it has developed a detailed formal plan for the terminations and has informed those employees affected that it will carry out terminations. Superannuation Staff of the museum are members of the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS), the Public Sector Superannuation Scheme (PSS) or the PSS accumulation plan (PSSap). The CSS and PSS are defined benefit schemes and the PSSap is a defined contributions scheme. The liability for defined benefits is recognised in the financial statements of the Australian Government and is settled by the Australian Government in due course. The museum makes employer contributions to the employee superannuation schemes at rates determined by an actuary to be sufficient to meet the cost to the Government of the superannuation entitlements of the museum’s employees. The museum accounts for the contributions as if they were contributions to defined contribution plans. The liability for superannuation recognised at 30 June represents outstanding contributions for the final week of the year.

1.8 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. 1.9 Grants 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. 1.10 Cash Cash and cash equivalents include notes and coins held and any deposits in bank accounts with an original maturity of 3 months or less, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash is recognised at its nominal amount. 1.11 Financial Assets Classification of financial assets depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of recognition. The museum classifies its financial assets as loans and receivables. Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables and are included in current assets. Loans and receivables are measured at nominal cost less impairment. The museum has no loans. Financial assets are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period. 1.12 Financial Liabilities The museum classifies its financial liabilities as other financial liabilities. Suppliers and other payables are classified as other financial liabilities and are recognised at their amortised cost, being the amounts at which the liabilities will be settled. Liabilities are recognised to the extent that the goods and services have been received and irrespective of having been invoiced.

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract to provide the service. The stage of completion is determined according to the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated total costs of the transaction. Receivables for goods and services are recognised at the nominal amounts due less any provision for bad and doubtful debts. Collection of debts is reviewed at balance date. Provisions are made when collection of the debt is no longer probable. 1.5 Gains Sale of Assets Gain from disposal of non-current assets is recognised when control of the asset has passed to the buyer. Resources Received Free of Charge Resources received free of charge are recognised as gains 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 those resources is recognised as an expense. Contributions of assets at no cost of acquisition or for nominal consideration are recognised as gains at their fair value when the asset qualifies for recognition. 1.6 Transactions by the Government as Owner Equity Injections Amounts appropriated which are designated as ‘equity injections’ for a year, less any formal reductions, are recognised directly in Contributed Equity in that year (2013: $1,728 and 2012: $1,668). 1.7 Employee Benefits Benefits Liabilities for services rendered by employees are recognised at the reporting date to the extent that they have not been settled. Liabilities for short-term employee benefits (as defined in AASB 119) and termination benefits due within 12 months of balance date are measured at their nominal amounts. The nominal amount is calculated with regard to the rates expected to be paid on settlement of the liability. 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.

therefore not been separately disclosed. The Australian National Maritime Foundation is a company limited by guarantee. See note 17. 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 the Accounting Standards. All internal transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. 1.2 Significant Accounting Judgement and Estimates In applying the accounting policies listed in this note, judgement has been made as to the fair value that has significant impact on the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The fair value of land has been taken to be the market value of similar properties. The buildings are purpose built and were independently valued. The fair value of heritage and cultural assets has been taken to be the book value or the market value as determined by independent valuers. No accounting assumptions or estimates have been identified that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next accounting period. 1.3 New Accounting Standards Adoption of new Australian Accounting Standard Requirements No accounting standard has been adopted earlier than the application date as stated in the standard. No new accounting standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are applicable in the current period have had a material financial affect on the Australian National Maritime Museum. Future Australian Accounting Standard Requirements New standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations that are applicable to future periods have been issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board. It is estimated that adopting these pronouncements, when effective, will have no material impact on future reporting periods. 1.4 Revenue Revenue from Government Funding received or receivable from agencies (appropriated to the agency as a CAC Act body payment item for payment to the Australian National Maritime Museum) is recognised as Revenue from Government unless they are in the nature of equity injections. Other Types of Revenue Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers.

1.13 Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets Contingent liabilities and contingent assets are not recognised in the balance sheet but are reported in the relevant schedules and notes. They may arise from uncertainty as to the existence of a liability or asset or represent an asset or liability in respect of which the amount cannot be reliably measured. Contingent assets are disclosed when settlement is probable but not virtually certain and contingent liabilities are disclosed when settlement is greater than remote. 1.14 Acquisition of Assets 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. Financial assets are initially measured at their fair value plus transaction costs where appropriate. 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. 1.15 Property, Plant and Equipment Asset Recognition Threshold Purchases of property, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the Balance Sheet, 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 Property, plant and equipment are carried at fair value, being revalued with sufficient frequency such that the carrying amount of each asset is not materially different, at reporting date, from its fair value. The regularity of independent valuations depends upon the volatility of movements in market values for the relevant assets. Valuations undertaken in each year are at 30 June. Fair values for each class of assets are determined as shown below. Asset Class Fair Value Measured at Land Market appraisal Buildings Market appraisal Infrastructure, Plant & Equipment Market appraisal Heritage and Cultural Assets Market appraisal or replacement cost Revaluation adjustments are made on a class basis. The Onlsow submarine and the Vampire destroyer have been valued on a net present value of income basis and the HMB Endeavour replica has been valued on a depreciated replacement cost basis in accordance with AASB 116. Smaller vessels are at market value. Any revaluation increment is credited to equity under the heading of asset revaluation reserve except to the extent that it reverses a previous revaluation decrement of the same NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

asset class that was previously recognised through operating result. Revaluation decrements for a class of assets are recognised directly through operating result except to the extent that they reverse a previous revaluation increment for that class. Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the asset restated to the relevant amount. Under fair value, assets which are surplus to requirements are measured at their net realisable value. Depreciation and Amortisation Depreciable property, plant and equipment assets are written off to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using, in all cases, the straight line method of depreciation. Depreciation and amortisation rates, residual values and methods are reviewed at each reporting date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate. Depreciation and amortisation rates applying to each class of depreciable asset are based on the following useful lives: 2013 2012 Leasehold land 105 years 105 years Buildings 10-50 years 15–50 years Infrastructure, Plant & Equipment 3-20 years 3–20 years Heritage & Cultural assets 10-400 years n/a Heritage and Cultural assets The Australian National Maritime Museum collects, manages and displays cultural and heritage assets of Australian maritime history. These assets are classified as heritage and cultural assets as they are primarily used for purposes that relate to cultural significance. A key objective of the Australian National Maritime Museum is the preservation of heritage and cultural assets and details in relation to the museum’s curatorial, preservation and conservation policies are posted on the museum’s web site: www.anmm.gov.au. With effect from 1 July 2012, the museum’s heritage and cultural assets have been depreciated according to the assessment of useful lives. Impairment All assets were assessed for impairment at 30 June 2013. Where indications of impairment exist, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and impairment adjustment made if the asset’s recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount (2013 : $nil and 2012 : $ nil). The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Where the future economic benefit of an asset is not primarily dependant on the asset’s ability to generate future cash flows, and the asset would be

The regularity of independent valuations depends upon the volatility of movements in market values for the relevant assets. Valuations undertaken in each year are at 30 June. Fair values for each class of assets are determined as shown below. Asset Class Fair Value Measured at Land Market appraisal Buildings Market appraisal Infrastructure, Plant & Equipment Market appraisal Heritage and Cultural Assets Market appraisal or replacement cost Revaluation adjustments are made on a class basis. The Onlsow submarine and the Vampire destroyer have been valued on a net present value of income basis and the HMB Endeavour replica has been valued on a depreciated replacement cost basis in accordance with AASB 116. Smaller vessels are at market value. Any revaluation increment is credited to equity under the heading of asset revaluation reserve except to the extent that it reverses a previous revaluation decrement of the same

asset class that was previously recognised through operating result. Revaluation decrements for a class of assets are recognised directly through operating result except to the extent that they reverse a previous revaluation increment for that class. Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the asset restated to the relevant amount. Under fair value, assets which are surplus to requirements are measured at their net realisable value. Depreciation and Amortisation Depreciable property, plant and equipment assets are written off to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using, in all cases, the straight line method of depreciation. Depreciation and amortisation rates, residual values and methods are reviewed at each reporting date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate. Depreciation and amortisation rates applying to each class of depreciable asset are based on the following useful lives: 2013 2012 Leasehold land 105 years 105 years Buildings 10-50 years 15–50 years Infrastructure, Plant & Equipment 3-20 years 3–20 years Heritage & Cultural assets 10-400 years n/a Heritage and Cultural assets The Australian National Maritime Museum collects, manages and displays cultural and heritage assets of Australian maritime history. These assets are classified as heritage and cultural assets as they are primarily used for purposes that relate to cultural significance. A key objective of the Australian National Maritime Museum is the preservation of heritage and cultural assets and details in relation to the museum’s curatorial, preservation and conservation policies are posted on the museum’s web site: www.anmm.gov.au. With effect from 1 July 2012, the museum’s heritage and cultural assets have been depreciated according to the assessment of useful lives. Impairment All assets were assessed for impairment at 30 June 2013. Where indications of impairment exist, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and impairment adjustment made if the asset’s recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount (2013 : $nil and 2012 : $ nil). The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Where the future economic benefit of an asset is not primarily dependant on the asset’s ability to generate future cash flows, and the asset would be NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

replaced if the museum were deprived of the asset, its value in use is taken at market appraisal or replacement cost. 1.16 Intangibles Intangibles comprise software and other assets for internal use and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Intangibles are amortised on a straight-line basis over its anticipated useful life. The useful lives of the museum’s intangibles are 3–10 years (2012: 5–10 years). All intangibles were assessed for impairment at 30 June 13. 1.17 Inventories Inventories held for resale by the museum store are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. 1.18 Taxation The museum is exempt from all forms of taxation except Fringe Benefits Tax and the Goods and Services Tax (GST). Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST:
• except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO); and
• except for receivables and payables. 1.19 Foreign Currency 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. 1.20 Comparative Figures Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in these financial statements where required.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

that arises from potential default of a trade debtor. This amount is equal to the total receivable for goods and services (2013: $200,594 and 2012: $76,915). The museum has no significant exposures to any concentrations of credit risk and has policies and procedures which outline debt recovery techniques. The ageing of financial assets that are past due but not impaired is equal to the ageing of receivables and is stated in note 5B. 14F: Liquidity Risk The majority of the museum’s financial liabilities are trade creditors and prepayments received. The exposure to liquidity risk is based on the probability that the museum will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities. This risk is minimal due to appropriation funding and internal policies and procedures which ensure that there are appropriate resources to meet financial obligations. 14G: Market Risk The museum holds basic financial instruments that do not expose the museum to ‘currency risk’ or ‘other price risk’. The museum is exposed to ‘interest rate risk’ which arises from the investment in short term cash and deposits with fixed and floating interest rates. This amount is equal to the total of cash at bank and deposits at call (2013: $21,046,916 and 2012: $21,411,152). 15. ASSETS HELD IN TRUST The museum has established a number of Trust accounts which are detailed below. Donations and bequests are received for specified purposes and moneys received are placed in a special bank account and expended on the specified projects in accordance with the terms of the trusts. These moneys are not available for other purposes of the museum and are not recognised in the financial statements.

This amount is equal to the total of cash at bank and deposits at call (2013: $21,046,916 and 2012: $21,411,152). 15. ASSETS HELD IN TRUST The museum has established a number of Trust accounts which are detailed below. Donations and bequests are received for specified purposes and moneys received are placed in a special bank account and expended on the specified projects in accordance with the terms of the trusts. These moneys are not available for other purposes of the museum and are not recognised in the financial statements.

that arises from potential default of a trade debtor. This amount is equal to the total receivable for goods and services (2013: $200,594 and 2012: $76,915). The museum has no significant exposures to any concentrations of credit risk and has policies and procedures which outline debt recovery techniques. The ageing of financial assets that are past due but not impaired is equal to the ageing of receivables and is stated in note 5B. 14F: Liquidity Risk The majority of the museum’s financial liabilities are trade creditors and prepayments received. The exposure to liquidity risk is based on the probability that the museum will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities. This risk is minimal due to appropriation funding and internal policies and procedures which ensure that there are appropriate resources to meet financial obligations. 14G: Market Risk The museum holds basic financial instruments that do not expose the museum to ‘currency risk’ or ‘other price risk’. The museum is exposed to ‘interest rate risk’ which arises from the investment in short term cash and deposits with fixed and floating interest rates.

Women’s swimwear 1900–1940s (above) (ex-Auburn District Historical Society Collection)These swimsuits represent the evolution of women’s swimwear from the bulky cotton and woollen two-piece bathing dresses of the 1890s to 1910s, to the more figure-hugging one-piece suits made of elasticised fabrics worn in the 1930s and 40s. They are rare examples of provenanced swimsuits, as the history of ownership has been provided through Auburn Historical Society records. The Diving Girl magazines provide a valuable insight into the social networks of staff working at Jantzen’s Lidcombe factory and the photograph of the Jantzen Ladies’ Cricket team documents Jantzen’s staff sports initiatives. The plastic bags are examples of Jantzen postwar packaging and complement Jantzen cardboard swimsuit boxes from the 1920s and 1930s already in the ANMM Collection. Donated by Auburn District Historical Society and Gary Rossi
Two colour lithographs of Derrick Smoothy paintings of the Chandris liners Ellinis and AustralisThese souvenir lithographs were purchased by the donor on board the Chandris liners Ellinis and Australis, which operated two of the last regular passenger services from Europe and Britain to Australia after World War 2. They are reproduced from watercolour paintings by well-known British marine artist Derrick Smoothy. Both vessels are still remembered with great affection by many immigrants who arrived in Australia on assisted passages after World War 2. Donated by Patricia Dawson

Scene on Mitta Mitta River (above)There is a rich history of Indigenous watercraft across Australia spanning thousands of years. Watercraft have been and remain integral to Indigenous culture, in particular through art and storytelling. From travel and fishing to their role in guiding, international trade and their use in ceremonies, the history of Australia’s watercraft is complex and continuing. This ink-and-wash sketch depicts the Indigenous use of the Murray River as a source of both food and social connection. It is signed FS – possibly Frederick Strange.
Collection of material relating to P&O, Orient Line and Howard Smith passenger vessels, 1936–1938This material relates to significant events in the P&O, Orient Line and Howard Smith passenger trade before World War 2. The two limited-edition lithographs of William Fawcett and Stratheden were issued in 1937 to commemorate the centenary of P&O. The prints were produced from paintings by renowned British marine artist Norman Wilkinson (1878–1971). Wilkinson’s 1937 oil painting of Stratheden, commissioned in the year of its launch as well as P&O’s 100th anniversary, is now part of the P&O Heritage Collection in London. The three newspaper clippings were collected by the donor’s father and reflect his personal ties to, and affection for, ships on which he travelled and worked. The 1936 Age and Argus newspaper clippings relate to the final voyage of the Orient liner Orsova from Australia to Britain in August 1936. Orsova operated as a mail liner, troop transport and emigrant ship in the Australian trade for 27 years. The 1938 Argus newspaper clipping, postcard and portion of paying-off pennant relate to the farewell voyage of the passenger steamer SS Edina from Melbourne to Geelong in June 1938. Edina is remembered with great affection as one of the oldest continuously operating passenger steamships in the world. Donated by Peter Trebilco

Traditional Hazara handkerchief belonging to Afghan asylum seeker Hedayat Osyan, 2006 (above)This modest handkerchief constitutes an extremely rare and poignant representation of a young Afghani asylum seeker’s journey to Australia. In June 2009, 17-year-old Hedayat Osyan escaped ethnic persecution in Afghanistan and travelled by plane to Malaysia and then by boat to Indonesia. In December 2009 he boarded a fishing boat from Indonesia bound for Christmas Island with nothing but the clothes on his back, a ring given to him by his mother and this traditional Hazara handkerchief made by his younger sister. Hedayat carried the handkerchief in his pants pocket during his voyage to Australia and it is one of few items representing tangible links to his family and homeland. The handkerchief has significant interpretive and display potential, and provides a personal, human dimension to a very divisive political debate about how to deal with asylum seekers who arrive in Australia on unauthorised voyages. Donated by Hedayat Osyan
Colin Quincey Trans-Tasman Rowing Voyage commemorative medallionThis medallion commemorates the first successful solo crossing of the Tasman Sea by rowboat, in 1977. Colin Quincey’s voyage provides historical context to the Crossing the Ditch Expedition undertaken by Australian trans-Tasman kayakers James Castrission and Justin Jones, who became the first to successully kayak across the Tasman Sea, arriving in Taranaki, New Zealand, after a 62-day voyage. Their kayak, Lot 41, along with provisions and equipment, is now in the National Maritime Collection.
Collection of material relating to the Italian radio broadcasters Lena Gustin (Mamma Lena) and Dino Gustin, 1950s–2000sThis highly significant collection of books, audiovisual material, artworks, photographs, broadcasting equipment and memorabilia documents the migration, settlement and remarkable career of renowned Italian radio broadcaster Lena Gustin (nee Morelli) and her husband Dino Gustin. It builds upon a collection of paper-based material donated by Lena and Dino’s daughter Rosalba Gustin in 2010 and importantly, being three-dimensional, has excellent display potential. The collection documents a significant period in Australia’s post-war migration history and offers
3 Appendixes 2 Selected acquisitions to the National Maritime Collection
a perspective on how migrants settled into the Australian community. This aspect of the migration experience is often overlooked in favour of the journey – so often the defining narrative of migration – so it is vitally important that ANMM develop its collection in this area. Lena Gustin pioneered the development of foreign language programming on Australian commercial radio in the late 1950s and was highly regarded as the voice of Sydney’s Italian community. Her popular programs on 2SM, 2CH and 2KY, produced by Dino, helped to dispel Italian migrants’ isolation and facilitate their integration into Australian society, prior to the introduction of community radio and SBS in the 1970s. Lena’s radio work, combined with her support of Italian welfare organisations, social, religious and sporting activities, and charitable and fundraising endeavours, earned her the nickname Mamma Lena (Mother of the Italians). Donated by Rosalba Gustin
Marcus Show GirlsThis glass-plate transparency documents Australian swimwear fashion and beach culture during the 1930s and references popular culture of that period with the ‘Marcus Show Girls’ modelling the swimwear in the daytime at a public beach. As a striking early colour image, the transparency has excellent interpretive potential which also relates to Melbourne-based swimwear designer Peter O’Sullivan, who had this transparency in his personal collection and most probably designed the swimwear featured in the image. A number of items associated with Peter O’Sullivan’s swimwear designs, patterns and archives are in the National Maritime Collection at the Australian National Maritime Museum. Donated by Dale O’Sullivan
Note: For the period 2012–13 a moratorium on collecting was in place, while the museum undertook a review of the priorities and processes for developing the National Maritime Collection. A small number of items were processed. They are listed here, representing a snapshot of the types and diversity of material that the museum acquires.
HMAS Sydney special envelope and cardThis collectors’ item relates to one of the first deployments of the Royal Australian Navy guided missile frigate HMAS Sydney (IV) after its launch in 1983. The ship was built in America and returned there one year later for a weapons system upgrade, which was followed by trials. Seattle was its home port during the upgrade.
Umbrella owned by James Breaks, HMVS Cerberus engineerThis personal effect is connected to the early colonial navy of Victoria, and one man who had a lifelong association with HMVS Cerberus.
Cessation of Transportation MedalThree factors – the growth of free immigration to the Australian colonies in the late 1830s and early 1840s, the perception that convicts introduced vice and corruption into colonial society, and a growing demand for locally elected political representation – led to the birth of the anti-transportation movement. The movement eventually managed to convince Queen Victoria and the British parliament to stop transportation to the eastern part of the Australia and was marked by the issue of the Cessation of Transportation Medal and the transition of the penal settlement of Van Diemen’s Land to the free colony of Tasmania. The Cessation of Transportation Medal is significant in that it heralded a new beginning for the colonies of Tasmania, New South Wales and Queensland. No longer seen as places of punishment but as desirable destinations with work, cheaper and better-quality food, higher wages and plenty of land, the colonies became magnets for hundreds of thousands of assisted and free migrants seeking a better life.
Compound monocular microscopeInstruments such as this compound microscope provided scientists in the 19th century with a detailed window on the natural world, stimulating new areas of research and discovery.
Naval motor launch MB 172 (above)MB 172 is representative of naval craft of this type that were once in common use around Australia. Only three examples remain of these craft. MB 172 is in the most original configuration and is an excellent example of pre-war shipwright skills. The boat is locally designed and built and represents a workhorse of the navy, a vessel type that more often than not disappears from the historic record. The museum’s half-life refit and restoration of this vessel in 2010–11 have prolonged its life as a working boat while retaining the integrity and configuration of its classic lines and construction. MB 172 stands as a tangible reminder of the shipbuilding capabilities of Garden Island Naval Dockyard; is a testament to the shipwrights who built it and to those apprentices who restored it in the 1980s; and showcases the museum’s commitment to Australia’s naval heritage. While the destroyers, frigates, corvettes, aircraft carriers and submarines have detailed histories written about them, it is important to also recognise the role of the smaller vessels and their builders.
Fundraising badge, 1919 Gallipoli AnniversaryOn 25 April 1915 members of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) landed on the beaches of Gallipoli, in Turkey, together with troops from New Zealand, Britain and France. This began a military and naval campaign that ended with the evacuation of troops on 19 and 20 December 1915. From a population of fewer than five million, more than 400,000 Australian men enlisted to fight in World War 1; more than 60,000 were killed and 156,000 wounded, gassed or taken prisoner. Fundraising activities during and after the war sought to alleviate the financial burdens of those who returned and their families as well as offering a visual sign of patriotism. Badges such as this allowed people to contribute in some small way.
