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.
Don't miss out on the magnificent Victorian engineering marvel HMS Warrior that sits proudly in the Harbour. On board you will find a stunning engine room and some of Warrior's crew who love to talk to visitors about their time at sea.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
