| Short Description | In 1964 Costas Melidis left his home on the island of Limnos and spent many weeks travelling to Australia aboard the Chandris liner Ellinis. Here, he established a successful business and several years later was joined by Maria and their two children. The National Maritime Museum holds artefacts from the family in Limnos, including Costas’ tools of trade and Maria’s domestic items brought to establish her new home. This collection includes crêpe paper maritime uniforms that the talented tailor made for the museum, copying those that won him a fancy dress prize on board Ellinis |
