Description

Marvel at the country's most historic warships, amidst the sights and sounds of a fully operational naval base, at this famous dockyard in Portsmouth. Wander the four vast decks of HMS Warrior, a wonderfully restored Victorian warship that was built in 1860. Then enjoy a fascinating tour of HMS Victory, which was Nelson's flagship - look out for the Kismet spot where he fell, mortally wounded. A naval rating will tell you tales of snitch stitches, square meals and more. Finally, re-live the history of the Restoration by viewing the specially preserved remains of the HMS Mary Rose, which was Henry VIII's favorite warship. Tickets may be purchased to see all three ships and the base also includes a Royal Navy Museum, an interactive Dockyard Apprentice Exhibition, maritime shops, a restaurant and tea rooms. Modern warships may be viewed by taking a special Warships by Water boat cruise.
