simon king Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) If anybody needs a new excuse to visit Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard, Monitor M33, one of only 3 remaining British warships from the First World War (the others are HMS Caroline in Belfast and HMS President on the Thames IIRC) has completed restoration and is now open to the public http://www.nmrn.org.uk/exhibitions-projects/monitor-hms-m33 Edited October 31, 2015 by simon king Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Saw her earlier in the year. She is a Brestwork Monitor to be exact. Must have qualified for 'Hard Lying' for the crew. I'd hate to be on her in a sea way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) The whole complex is worth a vist. I'm not an agent for Portsmouth tourism, but the town has it right. You can now get straight off the motorway into a secure car park, with the price of return tickets for up to eight via a dedicated bus service right to the Dockyard gates included in the charge. There is a quirky dispaly of old penny dreadful and what the butler saw machines as well. There is also Fort Nelson above the town. Warrior, which is half a day to see properly. Explosion the Royal Navy Gunnery Musuem, the Submarine Musuem, the D-Day museum. Plan on a long day.
