After a short drive, you will reach Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, where you will find the HMS Victory, the Mary Rose Museum, HMS Warrior 1860, the National Museum of the Royal Navy, Action Stations and a Harbor Tour. Spend about 3 hours at the Dockyard, choosing when and what you would like to see and do. (Subject to availability).
HMS Victory is the Royal Navy's most famous warship. Experience the world’s oldest commissioned ship and a proud memorial to Vice Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson, Britain's greatest Naval hero, the Great Cabin, where the battle was planned, the spot where Nelson died, the once crowded decks where over 800 men lived, worked and fought.
HMS Warrior 1860 is still afloat in Portsmouth Harbor. Come and experience, the world’s first iron-hulled, armored warship powered by steam as well as sail, the only surviving member of Queen Victoria’s Black Battle Fleet, four vast decks and feel what life was like as a Victorian sailor on board a 19th century warship.
The National Museum of the Royal Navy is one of the UK’s leading maritime museums. See the only museum devoted to the ships of the Royal Navy and the men and women who served in them. See, touch, hear and even smell the history of the Royal Navy through a rich collection of artefacts and award-winning permanent exhibitions.
The Mary Rose was raised in 1982 in front of a worldwide television audience of 60 million people. In the Museum, you will find an exceptional collection of thousands of personal, domestic and military objects, the skeleton of the ship’s dog, Hatch, which has been painstakingly re-constructed, a special re-construction of how the ship’s bosun would have looked at the time. Is this the man responsible for the ship’s sinking? There is also a special introductory film, narrated by TV historian Dan Snow, enhanced displays and personal interpretations of the ship by experienced guides.
