"• New Battle of Trafalgar colours and greatly improved visitor route around Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship are a revelation
• Visitors can now access never-before-seen areas of the ship, including the Poop Deck and Nelson's Great Cabin – increasing the space visitors can walk around by a massive 80%
• The story of HMS Victory and of Nelson, who famously died onboard at the battle, told in a completely new way
• Previous myths about iconic warship and Nelson exploded
New colours, a new journey and a new experience. The Victory visitors once knew has changed – for the first time in decades.
The new journey comes hot on the heels of the ship's new paint job, inside and out, gloriously returning her to her Georgian heyday.
Visitors will now get to experience HMS Victory through Nelson's eyes, as the drama of the battle unfolds, deck-by-deck, hour by hour, as the ship sets sail on September 14th, 1805…"

I'm so lucky. I live about 1 hours drive away from this great place. This has made me wish to back again, for the 20th time. For me the Naval Museum, Mary Rose and the Victory make a grand day out. Sorry! but the Warrior does not float my boat and no time to see them all in one day.

Funny Warrior is my favorite Victoriana at it's finest. Portsmouth (and Gosport) are an absolute treasure trove of museums and fortifications (and I say that as the red and white half of Hampshire). Fort Nelson is the best for me run by the Royal Armouries and totally free. |

P.R.o.t.R,
Victorian is my less favourite period. I must sometimes work as a Victorian doctor. I was no fan before this and doing this job has killed any love I had of this period. Sorry about that. But I'm glad we both can enjoy the place. I have not been (Worked) at Fort Nelson for some years. Before they make/built the new entrance. Must add it to my redo bucket-list. I have been on the "Warrior" too. Glad to have seen her, but not on my redo list.
Be safe
