The Me 163 Komet, designed by Alexander Martin Lippisch, was the only operational rocket-powered fighter aircraft during the Second World War. Although revolutionary and capable of performance unrivaled at the time, it proved ineffective as a fighter and resulted in the destruction of very few Allied aircraft.

COOGEE 762 gross tons, 286 net. Lbd: 225' x 30'2" x 13'5". (68.5 x 9.1 x 7.1m). Built 1887 by J.L.Thompson & Sons, Sunderland as Lancashire Witch for the Isle of Man - Liverpool run.
Sold to J. Huddart & Partners in 1888 when British owner went bankrupt. Renamed Coogee. Of Huddart Parker & Co 1889.
In 1903 Coogee had completed 961 round trips on the Bass Strait run until she was involved in an accident in the early hours of Christmas Day. Within Port Phillip Bay, the Coogee was full with passengers, eager to reach Melbourne to celebrate Christmas Day with friends and relatives. At 2am, the ship ran into thick fog and immediately reduced to half speed. An hour later, the fog was so dense that the engine was stopped. At 4am the Coogee restarted its engine and steamed ahead at half speed. Through the fog, which had lifted a little, the ship's second officer spotted the masts of a sailing ship, a four masted iron ship, the Fortuna Figaro that was bound for Newcastle. The Coogee was only a few lengths away from the Fortuna Figaro and both vessels were on a collision path. The Captain, who was on the bridge, ordered the Coogee's engines to be stopped and its helm to be turned to star board. However there was so little time. The Coogee and the Fortuna Figaro collided and a great gash was ripped in the bow of the Coogee. As the larger sailing ship moved past, its jib boom swept along the Coogee from stem to stern carrying away all in its way including deck houses, the bridge, lifeboats, ventilators, and the funnel. The Captain and the man at the wheel were killed. Fortunately all passengers and most of the crew were below deck, otherwise, casualties would have been greater. Steam and smoke were pouring from the steamer and its whistle was continuously creating an atmosphere of panic. The crew and passengers were taken on board the Fortuna Figaro. Although water was pouring through the gash in the bow of the Coogee, the forward bulkhead was still intact and prevented water moving through the entire hull and sinking the steamer.
1910, it was refitted and recommenced sailing between Melbourne and Geelong. 1917, she was withdrawn from the Port Phillip Bay service and after lying idle for 12 months was taken over by the Royal Australian Navy and used as a mine sweeper.
In 1921, she was chartered by the Telegraph Department and used to repair damage to the Bass Strait cable.
In 1928, the steamer was considered redundant and was scuttled outside the heads at Port Phillip Bay.
Now a popular diving site.

CCFP 163 is one of a series of 24 trams build in 1904-1906 by the local firm A Constructora on 21E trucks ordered from Brill. Originally they had Siemens-Schuckert electric equipments. It were the last Porto trams with two longitudinal benches.
When the STCP took over from the CCFP in 1946, there were still seven of these trams. One was modernized in the 1950's getting new extended Brill type platforms. This tram was withdrawn from service in 1973. It is now part of the museum collection as CCFP 163. The platforms are brought back in the original state, but the double sliding doors between the platforms and the saloon are dating from the reconstruction of the 1950's. The original trams had single siding doors. Also the motors and controllers are of a later date than the originals. Still this tram gives a good impression of the type in the condition they had about 1910.
