Visited the National Museum of the Royal Navy (Portsmouth) back in February, and then completely forgot to post anything.

Last time I went there was about 20 years ago and Mary Rose was not yet fully preserved- but these days she looks incredible, and was perhaps my favourite part of the trip. I would highly recommend a visit, even if it is just to see Mary Rose.

The 18th Century saw some of history’s fiercest naval battles take place. The naval engineering that went into battleships like Nelson’s HMS Victory was deeply impressive.

Thomas’s Grand Tour Day 9: Ships!

We visited the Historic Dockyard in Portsmouth today - to be more precise, three gorgeous ladies: HMS Victory, the Mary Rose and HMS Warrior. Every ship is beautiful and fascinating im her own way and I had a very lovely talk at the Mary Rose museum with a nice gentleman who let me touch a piece of wood from her as well as hold and smell one of her ropes - "That's what 500 years ago smells like!" he said. I bought a ton of books (the Horrible Histories ones about pirates among them) as well as an HMS Victory art print by David Bell I've been wanting to have for ages but couldn’t get in Germany. All in all, it was an incredible last day.

She is the High Queen. The Grande Dame. The beautiful big lady. The absolute unironical girlboss of ships. I hear her figurehead's insured for £100,000. One time she gave me a full broadside in the face. It was awesome. 💖

...And I've just realised that's nine years since I went down to Portsmouth to see her. Where does the time go? ;____;

Send me a ship and I’ll give you my (brutally) honest opinion on it

A young Lord Nelson, with both eyes and both arms. A brilliant naval strategist, he quickly rose through the ranks of Britain's Royal Navy.

Lord Nelson as an aspiring young officer, and the uniform he died in.
