Historical information
In 1934, the Shiplover's Society of Victoria organised an exhibition of 170 maritime artefacts, photographs and paintings on the barque Shandon berthed on the Yarra river to celebrate the Centenary of the foundation of Melbourne.
The exhibition was opened on the 10th of October 1934 by the Lord Mayor, Sir Harold Gengoult Smith and ended on the 17th of March 1935.
Significance
The catalogue lists all the items on display. The Jottings from our Logs from 1934 mentions that "should there be any surplus after expenses are paid, the Shiplovers has promise that (the Mission) shall benefit."
