About

The  museum was initiated in 1983 by a group of ex sailors with an interest in heritage in a small room in the old pilots cottage where the Ballina Information Centre now stands. The energy of the team, particularly through the efforts of the first curator Roy Kilner helped grow the museum to occupy most of the cottage. The Ballina Naval and Maritime Museum is a self funding not for profit organization run by volunteers committed to the goals of the museum. Our mission is to collect, preserve and present the rich maritime heritage of Ballina and of the large number of mariners, past and present who reside in Ballina.
