| HMS Victory ~ fought in the Battle of Trafalgar! |
We have just come back from Portsmouth - my second trip and hubby's first!
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will go again in a few weekends time with my sister and a friend, to go up the Spinnaker Tower, go on a boat trip, do some shopping in their MANY shopping outlets, go and explore the historic ships some more and basically enjoy a day out! Having lived near Simon's Town (South Africa's naval town) so long, we both really appreciate and enjoy anything naval... me adding in the naval officers too ;)
The photo is of the HMS Victory, which is permanently docked at Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard. What a maginificent ship!!! There are a couple other historic boats, some war-time boats, a ferry, some sailing boats and even a giant carrier! All very exciting and fun to see :)
See the travelogues below for some more pics of the historic ships and Spinnaker Tower! |

Very impressive Portsmouth page with all those maritime museum and ships! HMS Victory & Warrior, M33 and Mary Rose all look amazing! We hope we will be able to visit Portsmouth one day. Thanks for sharing. ~ho & pang | sourbugger Sun Dec 21, 2008 14:53 UTC
what an excellent and well informed page you have put together here. i went to see the mary rose, but it was donkeys years ago - can't remember it. | alucas Sat Sep 1, 2007 19:46 UTC
Great page Jen. That picture in your TL of the SPinnaker Tower is the best I've seen - and I've seen a lot in the construction press ! | rexvaughan Sun Aug 26, 2007 22:28 UTC
This is my lucky day, Jenn! We have a brief stop in Portsmouth on our itinerary so I took several of your tips for my guide. Well done and thanks! |
