In 2019-2020 the National Maritime Museum held a competition for remarkable stories of Australians and their boats. The entry from Lakes Entrance Historical Society, our story about the Mitchelson brothers and their fishing boat the Anchovette was one of the 12 chosen for this traveling exhibition, which was displayed at the Lakes Entrance Historical Society in June of 2021. The Society expanded on the Anchovette story to add to the exhibition which was enjoyed by many. They were surprised to learn that the unfinished hull that would become the legendary Anchovette brought to Lakes Entrance by the Mitchelson brothers in 1948 was designed to be a floating casino. Rebuilt for the fishing industry the Anchovette became a legend in the area with the brothers making innovations that changed the commercial fishing industry. Named after the tons of anchovies it brought in to supply the Peck's Paste factory that operated on Bullock Island Lakes Entrance until the 1970's.Two colour photographs taken at the Remarkable Stories Exhibition Lakes Entrance Victoriaexhibition, boats and boating, fishing industry
