| 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! |

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 21:28 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! | budapest8 Thu Aug 9, 2007 10:07 UTC
Great pages about Portsmouth. I have one of my gggg Grand fathers who was a sea captain at Trafalgar and was an eye witness to Nelsons death. Did you know more people were killed in the storm 3 days after the battle than at Trafalgar. | toonsarah Mon Aug 6, 2007 19:35 UTC
Great tips - thorough and interesting. You've made me realise that there's so much to Portsmouth that I've never seen, including the shopping opportunities ;) |
