Heritage Tours at the Mission to Seafarers

The Mission to Seafarers has operated from 717 Flinders Street since 1917 and is warmly regarded for its perpetual service of responding to the unique circumstances of those who live and work at sea. The unique HERITAGE-listed building is iconic to the City of Melbourne and its architectural significance is considered a fine urban example of the Arts and Crafts Style [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arts_and_Crafts_movement]. An hour long tour is led by our experienced volunteers.  You will step inside and hear the remarkable stories of the MISSION TO SEAFARERS, discover the original use of the Norla Dome, visit the Chapel and explore our hidden garden and sun-drenched Spanish-style courtyard. The new documentary can be seen in our HERITAGE ROOM THAT HOUSES AN EXHIBITION OF SOME OF OUR MANY ARTIFACTS. Tea or coffee is included in the ticket price and all proceeds go towards the Mission to Seafarers.
