Visiting Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard

September 24th I visited Portsmouth's Historic  Dockyard which is not only the foremost Maritime Museum in the country but also of special interest to us in Pembroke and Pembroke Dock. For Portsmouth is now the home of HMSWarrior.  Whilst there I met with the Captain of the Warrior - Mr Ken Jones.

I was also able to visit the new Mary Rose museum which houses the preserved remains of the ship.  As you pass through dimly lit galleries you can see the ship through windows on your right while on the left are arranged artefacts in the position where they would have lain. A fascinating experience!
