Blue Peter would have made sails and curtains and stuff and put some lights on.

I remember watching it on tv when they brought it up, I think it was in the early 80's.

So do I. A big metal frame with some rotten wood on came out the water. 30 years later and....it's exactly the same.

the Warrior (next door) is well worth a visit; an astonishing ahip. When completed in 1850 odd it was considered a match for any other navy.

And a Bain Marie a campaign to leave it under the sea.

When the exploration of the ship took place there were a couple of skeletons discovered

One was given a service burial in Southsea Cathedral

However (allegedly) as the coffin was small, a couple of the burial party were told off for a rendition of "What shall we do with the shrunken sailor"?

Did you know that a Nimitz class carrier alone was designed to be a march for any other two and a half navies at once?

I saw the Mary Rose in 2009. It was smaller than I thought it would be and it was quite difficult to imagine what it had been.

If you have not been in the last couple of years, the museum is excellent. I also understand that the view of the ship has improved. The museum is much more that a decayed piece of timber that was once a ship. There is so much more that was recovered - well worth a visit.

It was shut when I went along with the Warrior. Possibly the worst time to go. Then I missed the boat I wanted to catch back from the submarine and had to stay another hour in that museum, luckily not the last ferry across. Promptly causing me to miss the last admittance time to the Navy museum I wanted to see. All in all, wasn't a great trip to the dockyards to be honest. I want to go again sometime though to see the rest.
