26 Friends of the Western Australian Museum to Ascension and Falkland islands in the Southern Atlantic in search of William Dampier’s and Rose and Louis de Freycinet’s lost exploration ships, HMS Roebuck (1701) and the French corvette Uranie (1820), respectively. Also in July, a workshop was held for those interested in recording oral and video history. In March Friends were invited to attend ‘A Tale of Three Egyptian Mummies: Modern Research on Ancient Lives’. The talk was given by Karin Sowada, of Sydney University’s Nicholson Museum, who has worked on archaeological studies in Jordan, Israel and Egypt. In May, Friends were given the opportunity to attend a literary evening held by the Western Australian Maritime Museum in conjunction with the State Literature Centre. The evening featured Robert Drewe, author of The Drowner, and Tony Evans, author of C. Y. O’Connor: His Life and Legacy. To celebrate the completion of the new Western Australian Maritime Museum building at the end of May, Friends were invited to a ‘Twilight Preview’. Following the musical entertainment, Friends were given a wonderful opportunity to explore the building before it closed for exhibition fit-out. Special lectures and tours hosted by the Friends included: • guided tours of the Perth site, led by Kate Akerman of the Museum’s Education and Learning Department, in the week leading up to International Museum Day on 18 May • a tour of Baudin: The French Connection, led by exhibition curator Diana Jones, during the exhibition’s brief, unscheduled return to Perth in May • a tour of Koorlongka: Stories of Indigenous Childhood, with Michelle Webb, the exhibition’s principal curator, in June. During the year, Friends have been kept informed about lectures presented as part of the Maritime Museum’s Batavia Lecture Series, and visiting speakers’ lunchtime talks organised by the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. Friends were also given the opportunity to see Australia’s leading stone tool worker, Kim Akerman, at work in the Hackett Hall Foyer at the end of May. The generous support of Museum staff who have given their time to participate in or facilitate Friends activities is greatly appreciated. The Friends program would not be possible without such support. MEETINGS The Friends AGM was held on 25 September 2001. Prior to the meeting, a number of Friends toured the submarine Ovens, while others examined the new Maritime Museum under construction. Elected were: President—John Bannister; Vice-President—Ethel Lucas; Treasurer—Leonie Kirke; Councillors—Angela Anderson, Sara Meagher and Mick Poole. Bridget Faye (Museum Trustee) and Gary Morgan (Museum Executive Director) continued as ex-officio Councillors. During the year Sara Meagher was co-opted as Secretary. The Council continued to meet bi-monthly throughout the year. Major items considered included: the future of the Friends; the appointment of a Coordinator; date of membership renewals; insurance cover for Friends activities; membership drive; and a Friends logo.
