The Mary Rose
We would recommend taking a stroll through the dockyard to surround yourself with its atmosphere and history until you reach The Mary Rose.

Enjoy thousands of fascinating objects and be immersed in the new Dive the Mary Rose 4D. *Part of the Ultimate Explorer Ticket*
HMS Victory
HMS Victory is the UK's most famous warship and Nelson's flagship in the Battle of Trafalgar. Step on board and follow in the footsteps of Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson, witness how the crew lived and see the might of the 104 guns on the decks. An audio guide is available. The outside of Victory is currently undercover apart from its famous stern and prow whilst it undergoes a once in a lifetime conservation project - Victory Live: The Big Repair. See parts of the ship never uncovered before and watch the shipwrights and conservators at work.

Truly an amazing experience. Visiting from the U.S. The old ships are a wonder to behold. So much history. We spent the entire day exploring and did not see it all. Allow yourself a full day. Highly recommend.
