- On May 29 & 30, 2019, I visited the Historic Dockyard in Portsmouth, England. The first day, I planned to see the tall ships and visit the National Museum of the Royal Navy, but it was too wet and rainy; the visit was salvaged by the fact that the Royal Marines School of Music was sponsoring a military band tattoo event on Victory Arena, adjacent to the HMS Victory, so I watched that instead (see my separate video of the entire performance).
The next day, I had a reservation on a coastal cruise, followed by a steam train excursion, but the cruise was cancelled due to stiff winds offshore, making the sea too rough. So, since the weather was otherwise very nice and clear, I returned to the dockyard and did what I had planned to to the previous day, except I ran out of time and did not visit the National Museum of the Royal Navy. Just as well, since I think the three ships I DID visit make for better video.
I visited the HMS Victory, and the HMS Warrior, as well as the Mary Rose museum.
Thanks Paul another interesting adventure. 👍☀️✨
Thank you for the great video!
Victory is a very old lady, and like all old ladies, her hips are spreading! The weight of all the woodwork and cannon are gradually squashing her, hence all the external frames. It was found that they were insufficient, and she was bulging in between them, hence all the screw-jacks. They are trying to very gradually - a couple of millimeters a year, if I recall - press her back into her proper shape. When I was in the R.N., based in Portsmouth, Mary Rose hadn't been found, and the dockyard was still a dockyard! (1965 - 75).
footage very well taken, thank you sir
its been a long time since i have been there, but it is very good and when they open again there is a yearly ticket you can buy
Good video, but you walked across sacred ground on the victory. Where the lantern was on the deck, and you were talking about being in a mine on the sick deck. The lantern is there to indicate where Nelson died
Philip Left leg, good observation, although from the wording of your comment, you make it sound like I did something improper.
Ive been there and went on the hams victory and the ham warrior and inside that shop and also in that ww1 boat
Somehow i dont think this ship is remotely close in appearance than it was during its service. Lotsa of mods, upgrades, preservation...( understandably) has been made over the 250 years. Nevertheless, thanks for the video, this is awesome to see...especially considering I may never get to see it myself
Victory undergoing a major refit, costing around 50 million pounds, eventually she will look the same as she did at the Battle of Trafalgar, really the only difference will be the modern fire warning system's, which I think are a necessary addition, considering her age, and importance to this country.
They are trustworthy over there with all the ‘stuff’ laying around. I think that if they did that over here there might be some missing spoons off the table.
Hey, I found your TH-cam channel yesterday and I've been watching your tours ever since and I'm thoroughly enjoying them. Thank you for making these and putting them up. I have one question though, out of all the museums you have posted up on this channel which are your 3 favourites? Thanks again.
I am tall too I know how it feels to hit your head on a low part of a ship or a crawl space
Yes, but I am NOT tall....only 5'8" (173cm), and I still banged my head a number of times. People who are actually tall might as well try walking around on their knees when on the lower decks......
