ResumoRoger Cooper is honorary curator at the Holbrook Submarine Museum in the southern NSW country town that abandoned its former name Germanton during World War 1 and renamed itself after Lt Norman Holbrook, hero of a British submarine raid on the Dardanelles. The town's celebration of submarines and submariners culminated in the 'planting' of the RA N Oberon class submarine Otway, decommissioned during the 1990s, in a park beside the Hume Highway. Roger, a former submariner who served in Otway and now manages the museum that interprets this arresting civic monument, recounts his week as an intern with the Maritime Museums of Australia Project Support Scheme (MMAP SS).
