A step back in time sets scene for Navy extravaganza
See the most famous warship in the world, HMS Victory, the flagship of Britain’s greatest naval hero, Admiral Lord Nelson, at the Battle of Trafalgar. View the only remaining sail from the ship in battle, pock marked by some 90 shot holes, and experience the heat of the battle in a walk through Trafalgar Experience at the National Museum of the Royal Navy.
Explore the galleries of the National Museum of the Royal Navy which include exhibitions dedicated to Nelson, the Sailing Navy, the Navy’s role in abolishing the Transatlantic Slave Trade and personal stories of Sailors of the 20th Century.
Discover an exceptional collection of thousands of personal, domestic and military Tudor objects recovered from the Mary Rose, King Henry VIII’s favourite ship, at the Mary Rose Museum. The ship’s hull is withdrawn from public view for essential conservation work and the building of a new museum but you can see the plans and follow the progress at the current museum. |
