HMS Warrior is a steam-powered armoured frigate launched in 1860, one of the first two warships with an iron hull and armour plating, built in answer to France's ironclad Gloire. After decades as a depot ship and an oil jetty she was restored at Hartlepool, and since 1987 she has been moored at Portsmouth as a museum ship that visitors can explore deck by deck.
HMS Victory is a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line, floated out in 1765 and Admiral Horatio Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. She has stood in dry dock at Portsmouth since 1922 and remains in commission as the flagship of the First Sea Lord. Visitors go aboard and see where Nelson fell, while a long restoration known as the Big Repair goes on around her.
The Mary Rose Museum shows the surviving hull of Henry VIII's warship Mary Rose, which sank in the Solent in 1545 and was raised in 1982. The museum, designed by WilkinsonEyre with Perkins+Will and opened in 2013, is built over the dry dock in which the hull lies. Thousands of objects recovered from the wreck, from weapons to the crew's belongings, are displayed beside it.
