The MV Cape Don was a government lighthouse tender vessel on the Australian coast from 1963 to 1991. She was built in Newcastle by the State Dockyard as a unique class of ship that was purpose-built to service navigational aids (including manned lighthouses), primarily along the Western Australian & Northern Territory coasts. These days she is retired from active duty and undergoing restoration on Sydney Harbour, with the intent of her eventually becoming a "Commonwealth Lighthouse Service" museum and training ship.

A great experience, to actually be able to go onboard this classic old vessel and witness first hand the way they built ships in Australia in the 60's. Thank God she avoided the breakers!! Highly recommend the ship tours, very interesting & so much to see. A great day.
Beautiful place to explore. You can catch the train to Waverton Station. It’s about 800m walk to the Coal Loader and Balls Bay track. There’s plenty to see and do. It’s a relatively flat walk to McMahon’s Point along the harbour foreshore with great views of Balmain, White Bay, Cockle Bay and Barangaroo.
Walked past recently, very impressed with the progress made, can't wait to visit again for a tour soon!
A awesone bit of history. Be renovated by a dedicated group volunteers.Open days start 24th march 2018.
I love boats, ships and Cape Don is no exception. It has a history and feeling all of its own. I've been through the ship with a tour guide. Love to watch the sunset whilst the The Don sits calmly tired up to the Coal Loader. Come see for yourself, bring the fam and enjoy a picnic lunch.
Preserving our maritime history for future generations is a must... this is a passionate restoration of the MV Cape Don by tireless volunteers who we can't thank enough for their dedication and hard work.
Amazing experiance, takes you back to the 60s with all the original furniture mostly still intact and some being restored
