A Walk Around The Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, England
Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is an area of HM Naval Base Portsmouth which is open to the public; it contains several historic buildings and ships. It is managed by the National Museum of the Royal Navy as an umbrella organisation representing five charities: the Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust, the National Museum of the Royal Navy Portsmouth, the Mary Rose Trust, the Warrior Preservation Trust Ltd and the HMS Victory Preservation Company. Portsmouth Historic Dockyard Ltd was created to promote and manage the tourism element of the Royal Navy Dockyard, with the relevant trusts maintaining and interpreting their own attractions. It also promotes other nearby navy-related tourist attractions.
The National Museum of the Royal Navy was first opened in Portsmouth in 1911. The museum is host to many original Naval artefacts, including one of the original sails from the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. You can also see the Trafalgar Experience, an interactive walk-through gallery which details the Battle of Trafalgar and ends with the famous Wyllie Panorama. The museum also includes World War I Monitor HMS M33, which opened to the public in 2015, the centenary year of her launch.
HMS Victory has been open to the public for nearly 200 years. She was the famous flagship of Admiral Horatio, Lord Nelson who he famously died on during the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. She was moved into her current dry-dock in 1922 where she has remained since.
The Mary Rose was raised in front of a worldwide TV audience in 1982. She was then brought to Portsmouth and housed in dry dock. A new £35million museum, housing the ship and thousands of artefacts that were also recovered, opened in May 2013.
HMS Warrior 1860 was brought back home to Portsmouth in 1987, to further add to the collection of historic ships Portsmouth had to offer. As the world’s first iron clad warship, she represented a milestone in shipbuilding when sh was launched in 1860 and never fired a shot in anger.
Harbour Tours represent the chance to see the Historic Dockyard and Naval Base from the water. The trip leaves from Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, heads up to the North West corner of the Naval Base, making a quick stop at Gunwharf Quays before coming back to the Historic Dockyard.
Action Stations opened to the public in 2001 in the historic Boathouse No. 6. This building houses an interactive experience of the modern Royal Navy, including flight simulators, climbing walls and towers amongst many others. A recent addition is a Laser Quest experience, which offers another completely different use of this building
Boathouse 4 is due to open in 2015 as a Boatbuilding and Heritage Skills Centre Alongside an exhibition telling the story of small boats in the Royal Navy, visitors will be able to see traditional boatbuilding skills in action. The nearby Boathouse 5 houses a Historic Boat Workshop, part of the International Boatbuilding Training College.

PORTSMOUTH HISTORIC DOCKYARD Action Stations - Gosport Part 2
Portsmouth Historic Dockyard ACTION STATIONS!
This is Part 2, after Part 1's SUBMARINE VISIT, go check that out at:
Bruce visits the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard by taking a free water bus ride on our Full Navy tickets (children under 5 travel free, children from 5-15 years old pay a concession rate on Full Navy tickets) from the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, where we parked. You can also park near the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard area.
Here is their website:
And here is the webpage for their Action Stations:
We could not do everything there partly because of Bruce's age and time constraints. Watch out for the next video which will look at the vintage-styled machine games at Boathouse 7's restaurant!
We are hoping to do a Part 4 later on, featuring the ship HMS Victory. We did not get a chance to go onboard the HMS Warrior on this trip.

VINTAGE GAME MACHINES - Spot the Movements! Part 3 Gosport
PORTSMOUTH HISTORIC DOCKYARDS Coin-Operated Vintage Arcade Machines!
- GOSPORT Part 3 -
At the back of Boathouse 7 restaurant are two rows of coin-operated vintage game machines, which are SUPER COOL! We couldn't feature all of them as it was so crowded there, but if you go there, get your 20p and 50p ready, the 50p machines don't take 10p or 20p, so we had to miss a couple of 50p machines - gutted!
These are the retro arcade coin-operated game machines we featured in this video:
1) The Burglar
2) Scientific Automatic Palmistry
3) The Drunkard's Dream
4) Play with Peppy the Musical Clown
5) Laugh with Jolly Jack
6) The Haunted House - built nearly 100 years ago! Can you spot all 10 ghostly movements?
7) A sweet picking machine, 70 years old, but we didn't get the name!
8) The Haunted Churchyard
9) Pinky and Perky
SCARY MACHINES:
10) John the Painter for Arson - we covered Bruce's eyes for the end part!!
11) The Guillotine - we didn't even dare to see this!
We think these are an essential part of history and are fabulous. Just scary for young kids. So beware.
The sound effects during the games are our own, apart from 'Play with Peppy the Musical Clown', 'Laugh with Jolly Jack' and 'Pinky and Perky'.
We hope to do a Part 4 featuring HMS Victory ship!

Catching Crabs on Cromer Pier in Norfolk
Today I went out to a recommended crabbing site from the Visit Norfolk Web Site. Cromer Pier. Slow start but ended up being a really good afternoon out at the Beach.

More DRIVING In The UK - We Take A Welsh Road Trip To Tenby
To continue our series on tips for tourists driving in the UK for the first time we go on a little road trip. In the previous driving videos, we’ve shown some on the roads and signs but in this one we simply go on a drive down the M4 motorway to the seaside town of Tenby in West Wales.
This is why you should rent a car when you visit the UK, so you can get out of the cities and explore the smaller towns and countryside.

Driving along the M4 until it becomes the A48 we come off the main route and head to the village of Laugharne which was the home of the famous Welsh poet Dylan Thomas
Laugharne - Walking In The Footsteps Of Dylan Thomas, Wales
After Laugharne we follow the coast to Pendine Sands, where they used to attempt land speed records. Then it’s on to Amroth, Wisemans Bridge, Saundersfoot before arriving in Tenby, Pembrokeshire.

E-boat
E-boat was the Western Allies' designation for fast attack craft of the Kriegsmarine during World War II. The most popular, the S-100 class, were very seaworthy, heavily armed, and fast – capable of sustaining 43.5 knots and briefly accelerating to 48 knots.
These craft were 35 metres long and 5.1 metres in beam, half again longer and much sleeker than any of the Allied PT boats. Their diesel engine propulsion had substantially longer range than the gasoline-fueled American PT boat and the generally similar British Motor Torpedo Boat.
