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.

Royal Naval Museum
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. The Royal Naval Museum 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
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 on the horizon. Don't miss the chance to visit in 2009 before the hull is temporarily withdrawn from public view. The museum remains open throughout with imaginative interpretations of the ship.HMS WARRIOR 1860
