Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian maritime history/Categories

This sub page of the Australian maritime history project was created to trace existing category trees for issues relating to the subject with the ultimate aim of standardising categories - and possibly encouraging some changes where necessary: (to reduce low potential population of a category, for overlap between categories, or even contradictory categories)

Update 2014
Since the creation of this project - significant changes have occurred in portals/projects relative to maritime history, and transport history.
