Portsmouth Historic Dockyard
HMS Victory
The most famous warship in the world; the greatest British Naval hero of all time and the only surviving, battle scarred sail from the Battle of Trafalgar make for a gripping story about life on board HMS Victory in Georgian times. Nelson's flagship is the world's oldest commissioned warship and is still manned by Officers and Ratings of the Royal Navy.Free access to ship's companies of visiting foreign ships on presentation of Identity Cards to the ticket centre beside Victory Gate to the Naval Base.
National Museum of the Royal Navy
The stories of those who have served in the Royal Navy are told through the personal possessions and memories of the men and women who have
dedicated their lives to safeguarding our Nation's freedom. National Museum of the Royal Navy is one of the country's leading maritime museums and its collections and exhibitions celebrate Great Britons from Nelson to the lesser-known but equally dedicated ranks.The Mary Rose Museum
Henry VIII's favourite ship sank in front of him in 1545 taking a full crew with her to a wretched death by drowning. The crew is immortalized through their personal belongings and the ship's inventory. There's exciting plans for the Mary Rose too, with a new museum set to open in 2012. Please note that the hull of the Mary Rose is currently withdrawn from public view as part of a £35 million heritage project to build an internationally-renowned museum. The ship, together with a recreation of the boat's missing side, will next be open to the public in 2012, when she will be housed in a brand new boat-shaped museum. In the mean time come and visit the Mary Rose Museum where exciting interpretations of the ship can be viewed.HMS 
WARRIOR 1860
The glory of the Victorian Age is embodied by HMS Warrior 1860. Cutting edge technology, radical design and her dominant presence meant the "Black Snake" ruled the waves at the height of the British Empire. For many she was the most significant warship ever built and yet became obsolete just a decade later. Action Stations
It's a high-seas adventure when the story of the Royal Navy takes a contemporary twist at Action Stations. There's a climbing tower, lots of simulators and displays and an interactive science and technology gallery. Take charge and fly a helicopter and go into battle with the Royal Marines.Harbour Tours
