Alfred Graving Dock Tour
By popular demand, tours of 1864 Alfred Graving Dock will take place 20 April 2024 at the BAE site in Williamstown.
The event is supported by Hobsons Bay City Council, BAE Systems, Royal Yacht Club of Victoria, National Trust, Port of Williamstown Action Group and Tall Ships Victoria.
This is a unique opportunity for visitors, as the Dock is rarely open to the public, having been a secure defence shipyard for many years. Bookings will be arranged by Hobsons Bay City Council.
Enterprize
Melbourne’s tall ship Enterprize is a replica of the 1830 topsail schooner. It was launched in 1997 and operated by a volunteer crew. She provides an authentic 19th-century sailing experience for all Victorians.
