I visited in 1971, November I think it was. One of the teachers at school organised a trip. Belfast had only been open to the public for a few weeks. You could tell they hadn't organised everything at that time. There was still nude girly pictures on the inside of the ratings locker doors. Two months later I was off to HMS Raleigh as a new recruit. My Uncle served on the Belfast during the war as a Petty Officer.
I visited that in 1997 when I was visiting from the US. I had no idea it was even there until we walked past. It was very interesting. Too bad Britain didn't save any battleships as museums, but you can't have it all.
I GOT VERY DRUNK ONE AFTERNOON ON THERE WHEN MY SHIP HMS SCYLLA VISITED LONDON IN 1991 AND WE BERTHED ALONG SIDE HER. GREAT STAFF AND THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES
I was christened using the ships bell as a font due to my father serving on this ship. When we visited he kept trying to go in the restricted area haha.
I’ve never actually seen this ship but by playing a certain game with shipgirls, I want to visit this Her rich history from that mine to Korea makes her an amazing ship! Being one of the last light cruisers to exist and last Royal Navy light cruiser from WWII and the last to still exist makes her a legendary ship!
Congrats man In a few years I’m probably gonna go on a trip to London for a trip and if I don’t get to go here I’m gonna expel myself along with destroying a classroom
Hey thanks.....I've looked down on it ( from the Sky Garden ), drifted past on a ferry, even walked past ( from Tower Bridge to the Shard ) and I never realised it was open!. Talk about dim. But if we ever get to London again, its a definite.
I spent a week on her rigging lights in the ops room, to make the radar displays appear to be operational, my class of Mechanicians had a weeks break from HMS Collingwood.
the best school trip of my life getting a tour of HMS Belfast in year 6 -I fell down one of the ladders- they gave me silk gloves and a mask and let me touch a pair of binoculars they used
As a tourist i saw her back in December 2008 from over the bridge and had a snack in the nearby park in that evening. Silly me, i thought it was a clean modern ship stationed for the winter.
I came here when I was 10 and the fire alarm went off because someone had burnt something in the cafe. I was terrified and ran crying off the ship thinking it would sink
When we walked through the ship in 1999 was very concerned what looked like asbestos wrapping around pipes. Just had to touch it and it would flake off. Hope they have fixed " removed" this by now. Ship has an interesting history
Great tour of a great ship. Just such a crying shame the British government scraps ships at any chance they get. Luckily Thre's a chance of H.M.S Hermes becoming a museum ship.
Extraordinary , I visited back in 1974 and I have to say that the ship is in a much better state of finish compared to back then, understandably. The IWM has done a great job overseeing the further restoration and upkeep of Belfast. I could weep for such ships as Warspite, sent to be scrapped, a sentence of death. Just think, the British Battlefleet of years past, not one left what a crying shame. Thats your politicians of the day, they could have kept one battleship for the day of restoration like the Americans did with USS Texas, so what if it rusted a lot? They fixed that up later on and so kept a 100 year old ship. The British government could have done the same but no. All you have left now is Belfast. It should really be in perfect condition given that it is the last warship of the 1930's.
Where's the pilot house (the room where the ship's steering wheel is located)? Is that room off limits? I can't find photos or footage of the area where the Helmsman steers the ship.
It’s listed as the ‘Forward Steering Position’ on the tour map they provide and it’s located between the Boiler Room and the ‘B’ Shell Room and Hoist. Must just have been closed the day I visited otherwise I would have filmed it. I think the only long term closure/restoration work going on at the minute is the Flag Deck/Gun Direction Platform.
Excuse me. HMS Belfast is the pinnacle of English warship construction when Englishmen were masters of the sea,she maybe even be considered the very genesis of modern warship design. She isn't some gaudy battleship. She is a sleek,fast all-weather hunter,the perfect combination of firepower,speed and technology. No other vessel exemplifies the seafaring inguinity of the British people better than HMS Belfast. Josh from Texas
@@joshuamitcham1519 Rubbish, the Warspite was the most illustrious warship in British history. It was basically a national monument.From Jutland to D-day, it was there.

I imagine the pictures have long since been taken down...unfortunately!
My great grandad served on this ship
My Father also served on this shop during WW2 and into the Korean war.
Wow!

I toured this great vessel when I visited London many years ago. So glad that it's being preserved and maintained.
Houston Texas here i would love to visit and making it a point keep her in good shape Boys.
Amazing ship. I came here because I was interested in the history after playing Azur Lane and finding HMS Belfast as a shipgirl.
same!! :D
Same with Sirius (currently haven't had her yet, but i got belfast and she's currently op in my fleet) and I just realized, Sirius was scrapped.
Me stepped into the museum... "OMG i'm inside her!"
Literally why I love Britain now!
beautiful maid makes me want to visit her origins of her real counterpart
Lmao
I was there in June 2017,it was a dream come true!
Yeah, it’s a great place to visit Ricardo delabt
Fantastic ship

I'm going on a school history trip
We are staying the night on the ship IM SO EXCITED
I hope you have a great time CrazyKayKay :)
Oh that's good but the air is pretty bad if you are on the lower compartments
Congrats man
In a few years I’m probably gonna go on a trip to London for a trip and if I don’t get to go here I’m gonna expel myself along with destroying a classroom
@@DividedByZeero 😂 worth the wait hope you have a great time
Imagine dancing on top of the ship you're named after.

Well done! Great walk through. I visited this amazing warship in 2017 and I'm still impressed. I will revisit it for sure
thanks for this video mate!!
I’m glad you liked it Aday. Thanks for watching :)
Thanks for the great tour, my dad visited her during the silver jubilee, been on my bucket list for decades.
I have been on her twice, Each time there were different areas open and closed. I didn't see the cat in the hammock. Good to see her again Thanks.

The silk gloves and mask are I think anti flash gear which was used for protection against fire in a battle
@@diggareesworld5668 oh ok I thought it was so the binoculars wouldn't get dirty lol
In 1976 i was on a week long school visit to Portsmouth and we stayed on HMS Belfast
As a tourist i saw her back in December 2008 from over the bridge and had a snack in the nearby park in that evening. Silly me, i thought it was a clean modern ship stationed for the winter.
I came here when I was 10 and the fire alarm went off because someone had burnt something in the cafe. I was terrified and ran crying off the ship thinking it would sink
Those 6 inch guns fired on Scharnhorst!
also fired 8000 rounds during the Korean war to the point that the guns had to be replaced.
When we walked through the ship in 1999 was very concerned what looked like asbestos wrapping around pipes.
Just had to touch it and it would flake off.
Hope they have fixed " removed" this by now.
Ship has an interesting history
Not asbestos.
No it's still there and there is a warning that it us asbestos but safe unless tampered with. I was on the belfast a few days ago.
Nice flooring.
8:28 Guns.
15:25 Ammo.

Royal Navy1234 It’s not a shame, it was necessity. Britain was BANKRUPT
Black Death I would t say that was the sole reason. There was a large push for ships like Warspite and Vanguard to be saved but they weren’t
Hermes has been scrapped.
Did anyone else see the ship's cat in his own hammock in 'arctic messdecks'?
Ive Been There
She's an impressive light cruiser.
They built them well in Belfast.
Was she built in Belfast?

Very soon I will go and make documentary
Where's the pilot house (the room where the ship's steering wheel is located)? Is that room off limits? I can't find photos or footage of the area where the Helmsman steers the ship.

Found it, its a small room in the center of the vessel.
Pity the wireless bridge was missing!!
Twice in my life I've attempted to visit the ship and both times it was closed to the public :-(
Does nobody else visit there??
很棒的影片 謝謝你
you missed an opportunity to do a Belfast expensive dance on top
Hmm.... my maid looks a lot bigger than i expected
I found it sooooooo creepy when I went in that boat tho😂😂 Those small rooms were creepy as fck, my classmates scared the hell out of me😨
It’s not a boat it’s a ship
She's a Ship, a Cruiser, why do people always call everything that floats no matter how big it is a "Boat?"
Channel: Under 5 Minutes
Video: 24 minutes
Me: my life is a lie
Should be in a dry dock .
This should of got scrapped. It should have been the Warspite sitting there instead.
Too bad for you, most of us prefer the Belfast.
grubio1970
And who was going to pay to keep a ship like Warspite, YOU ?, the War Museum has enough trouble keeping Belfast open, it costs a fortune,
Excuse me.

@@joshuamitcham1519 HMS was not an English warship nor was it built by Englishmen, the clue is in the name.
