HMAS Castlemaine (Williamstown)

HMAS Castlemaine is one of the sixty Australian-built Bathurst Class corvettes to serve throughout World War II, and is the last such vessel still afloat, having been restored by volunteers over four decades.

HMAS Castlemaine is open to the public on weekends, public holidays and by arrangement. Visitors can see how crews lived and worked during the war years, witness the original main engines turning over, and view a wide range of artefacts documenting Australian maritime history.

Visitors to HMAS Castlemaine are free to explore the ship, watching the original engines turning, viewing the restored equipment and frequently changing exhibits. Visitors are welcome to traverse the guns, ring bells and use voicepipes to relay messages between compartments. Guided tours are usually available - typically visitors take an hour to visit all compartments in the ship

Located at Gem Pier in Williamstown.
