The museum which, as its name suggests, has a
predominantly maritime focus, is a goldmine of
information for genealogists researching Port Chalmers
people and ships. The first point of reference is
usually the monumental Port Chalmers Early People and
Ships compiled by Ian Church but a word of warning if
you are relying on this important resource: they are
making additions and corrections to this almost every
day as new information comes to hand so it is strongly
advised to check with the Museum for additional
information.
