What a phenomenal video tour!! I am amazed how you were able to hold the camera so steady, and yet climb, crawl, bend to, walk along, and reach all the spaces in that compact ship and keep it flawless!! Genius! I would love to make a morning out of touring this piece of history. What a ship. So it was retired, so to say, in 1967. So the various government divisions over war and defense bucketed trusts to keep these military ships and such refurbished, cleaned, and kept for people to see and appreciate. This ship was incredible self-sustained. What with the gigantic kitchens and bread baking rooms, the dentist, operating room area, sewing ports, and a jail! Fascinating. I like how they have the exhibits of food of all sorts so we may see how food was cooked. The large vats of soups were incredible. The engineering and mechanics were just great. I like all the interactions and exhibits of information for people to try and see. I also would like to try the steering of the ship as well. So this was so well done, I can understand that the same group that set this up also set up the underground war rooms from WW II - which I LOVED that video too. What a fabulous group. Well done. So this is part of the Imperial War Museum. I can only imagine how wonderful that is - and I know we have that gem coming!! I have to go back and listen again as I miss some bits as there was so much you covered. Blessings.
This has to be one for you list to see as the video just can't donthat feeling of being on board justice, one of the most incredible exhibitions I have been on for both it vastness of things to do and see but also that feeling of being there. Yes the same group have done this and the other places and kept in such amazing condition 👍😀
I will take the stance of a designer [and a future naval architect here] and say I love the chrome fittings and the way it looks with the red and blue. You can look at photographs of it but, seeing it in the video is something else. I loved looking at all the machinery and the industrial aesthetic of this. Gives me a whole set of ideas. Now, I am going to specialise in civilian pleasure craft, but the brand will be there. I loved what I've seen. By the way, hello Belfast!
My Grandfather served on Belfast up until she hit the mine, and he was reassigned. I live in Canada, but visited London, and HMS Belfast, in 2006. They didn't have the modern museum fixings then, though you were pretty free to wander around her even then too. I don't have any living relatives, that I know of, left in England so I probably won't have a chance to visit her again. Thank you for the tour.
A pleasure and that was great to read, did he enjoy serving on HMS Belfast? Great you had the chance to go around the ship then. Thanks so much for watching 👍😀
When I self toured this ship in 1985 you could go almost anywhere on it, work the gun breaches, go way down in the engine spaces, etc. I spent 4 plus hours wondering around on her, and still have my ticket stub.
In the Music Room, I could see three radio receivers. So, there was also the possibility of piped radio programs. And at 13:55 - one of the Opus Audio Guides! I used to work for the London firm that made them, until lockdown closed all museums. I was made redundant then, so decided to retire also.
Went on in 1997 on a trip from the US. I was impressed about how much you could see. Obviously a lot of the newest interactive stuff wasn't around then.
It must have been a bit of trouble getting 🤔 around as you are so tall. What a fascinating place. I was one of those people who looked at the boat 🚢 from various sites but never went on it. There really is so much to see 👀. I have found the tours were you have your own headset can be more enjoyable. I am not sure 😕🤔 about doing some of those stairs, they look really steep. I don't know how anyone could just live in one area for who knows how long. You could only be in certain areas with the same people all the time. Where you slept didn't 😴 look very comfortable. I had a boyfriend who was in the navy over here. He was 6 ft11/2 and the bunks were only 6ft long so he said it was miserable. I wonder how long it takes to learn all the mechanics to run the boat. You got so much in , in half a hour. I was surprised at the operating room and x-rays rooms, but I am sure plenty of accidents happened. Very enjoyable speedy video, learnt quite a lot about 🚢🛥. Wish I had visited when I had the chance.
Isn't funny that you also just looked at it and never made it on. I think when you are somewhere you think I'll do this another time, this is where I am so lucky making videos and I then do these things and discover them! Yes the passageways and stairs are challenging being tall and at 6' 2" I can understand how miserable that would be! Thanks as always Lesley 👍😀
Thanks, Steve. I really appreciated this video. It's something I could never do myself due to mobility issue's, also I really have an incredibly rotten sense of directio, s I would definitely have gone round in circles.
**Frankenstein the Cat! Would have liked to know how long he/she lived, and in what era he/she was on the ship? During or post WW2? How did Frankenstein get on board in the first place? Anyway, you can tell I found that particularly poignant. -Liked that cafe, Steve. Interesting place to meet a friend just for that. Much thanks.
Belfast did not fire missiles but 6 inch shells. No, the Transmitting station is not for transmitting and receiving messages but for transmitting fire control data. “The large grey box dominating the centre of the compartment is an Admiralty Fire Control Table, a mechanical computer. It was fed details of the range and bearing to targets by the Forward Director Control Tower on the ship's Gunnery Direction Platform (about eight decks above the transmitting station). The computer then calculated the correct angles of training and elevation required for the guns to hit their target.” Correct details are important.

My hubby LOVED this tour and then we had to catch the Churchill one too, thank you!!
Fantastic, so pleased and next month we have the Imperial War Museum coming up as well. Thanks so much for watching :)

yes, just a wonderful time and there really is just so much to see - brilliant you've still got the stub :)

The updates have made it a fantatic place to visit and learn even more about the ship :)
Very interesting technolodge of by gone era.
Nice video

Yes need to be able to duck around to get through and also that sense of direction, or I might still be in the engine room 😂😂😂😀👍

I know of all the things to discover on board there's the 🐱🐈, so funny. Now need to know if cat get sea sick! Thanks Karen 👍😀
