Lonely Planet review for Sinclair Seamen’s Church

Sinclair Seamen’s Church, next to the Harbour Commissioner’s Office, was built by Charles Lanyon in 1857-58 and was intended to meet the spiritual needs of visiting sailors. Part church, part maritime museum, it has a pulpit in the shape of a ship’s prow (complete with red-and-green port and starboard lights), a brass ship’s wheel and binnacle (used as a baptismal font) salvaged from a WWI wreck and, hanging on the wall behind the wheel, the ship’s bell from HMS Hood.
