Step back in time at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, where groups are greeted by Britain’s first iron-hulled, armoured warship HMS Warrior. 

Plot a course to HMS Warrior - Queen Victoria’s favourite ship - where groups can learn sword fighting skills and create secret signal flag messages. 

When international visitors climb aboard Lord Nelson’s HMS Victory or learn about the history of Henry VIII’s flagship the Mary Rose, they’ll leave Portsmouth inspired, motivated and with a greater understanding of Britain’s past and naval heritage.
