Marine Engineering Collection

An extensive collection representing the development of maritime engineering technology, particularly as used in WA, from the first marine beam engine to today's outboard motor or nuclear drive plant; and the experiences and unsung stories of the rarely sighted engineers who ran, maintained and fixed this tehnology, often in the most difficult circumstances. The marine engineering, science and technology collection comprises: combustion, inboard and outboard engines (30), steam engines and pumps (20), model engines and boilers (12), oral histories (30), uniforms (5), certificates of discharge, eppaulettes, caps, passports, tools, implements, scientific instruments, gauges, certificates of competency, employment identification cards, documents, technical books, manuals, navigational materials, technical plans, log books, union membership books, memorabilia, documents, piston and valve, engine gauge boards, and engine makers' plates.本馆藏为一套完整展现海事工程技术发展历程的大型藏品集合，尤其聚焦西澳大利亚州（Western Australia, WA）的应用实践，时间跨度覆盖从首台船用横梁发动机，直至当代舷外机与核动力装置；同时收录了鲜少受到关注的工程师的从业经历与无名事迹——他们往往在极为艰苦的环境中，操作、维护并修缮这类海事工程设备。该海事工程、科学与技术馆藏包含以下品类：内燃机、舷内与舷外发动机（30台）、蒸汽机与泵类设备（20台/套）、模型发动机与锅炉（12套）、口述历史资料（30份）、制服（5套）、离船证明书、肩章、帽子、护照、工具、器具、科学仪器、计量仪表、任职合格证书、就业身份证件、各类文件、技术书籍、操作手册、航海资料、技术图纸、航海日志、工会会员证、纪念藏品、活塞与阀门组件、发动机仪表盘以及发动机制造商铭牌。
