Strange but true!

The New Zealand National Maritime Museum has had weddings conducted both
aboard its heritage vessels and within its themed galleries.  This has been
a source of funds

Recently, it also fired a deceased person ashes from its cannon ( their last
request ) from its heritage vessel in the harbour.
