Today is your very last chance to get onboard HMS Warrior until she closes for a complete electrical refit

As one of the most innovative warships that ever served, Warrior was the largest, fastest and most powerful warship of her day. Now she welcomes thousands of visitors annually, and it’s vitally important that we undertake regular maintenance and conservation activities to keep her looking and performing at her best.

If you've got an Ultimate Explorer ticket, the remainder of our ships, submarines and museums remain open throughout, so you still get the best value from your ticket.

In the meantime, she looks forward to welcoming you back in Easter 2023, shipshape and ready to go!

HMS Warrior’s mast, festooned with 1,000 lights, has become a real favourite in the city and one of the most photographed sights.

Members of the rigging team worked aloft to bedeck the mast and yards with hundreds of LED lights, hoisted up to them by colleagues from the Shipwright team, that are set to twinkle across Portsmouth harbour until Twelfth Night.

We'd love to see your Christmas pictures of HMS Warrior! Pop them below in the comments 🎄⚓

Working with The Royal Mint Museum, we helped to create themed reminiscence boxes around the 2012 Diamond Jubilee for Her Majesty.

These boxes help patients in care homes suffering from memory-related illnesses to relive their past experiences. HMS Diamond was the obvious choice to focus on, the ship that started the celebrations. The boxes contain a link to our Warrior we**am (allowing recipients to watch Portsmouth Harbour at work daily), an interview with one of our volunteers who participated in the Thames pageant, and more!

Our exhibition, Her Majesty’s Service, still on display at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard serves as a solemn reminder and celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s service. Born into a family steeped in service with the Royal Navy, she remains the granddaughter, daughter, wife and mother of those who served.

When you visit you can find photographs on display recording these decades of service from Her Majesty, below is a photo from the launching of HMS Eagle in 1946.

Last week, Portsmouth was named the 2nd coolest city in the UK and of course, although we may be biased, we completely agree. We therefore decided to put our heads together and come up with lots of reasons why we love Portsmouth, and why we think you should explore our wonderful city during your stay with us. We’ve also included the trendy neighbourhood of Southsea, which offers more than just sea and sunshine.

Take a look at our selection of highlights…and then come and experience everything for yourself 😊

Sadly it's my Father's 86th birthday today but he is no longer with us and passed earlier in the year. My Dad was an artist as well and started my life long desire to paint and create. In his retirement I got the chance to get Dad working on loads if art projects with me for Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and the Royal Navy Submarine Museum . Sadly like most murals they are not meant to be permanent but you can still see paintings that 6 local Portsmouth artists painted at Trafalgar Gate with Mark 'Rocky' Lewis art and Soul Traders.
So if you knew my Dad raise a glass as it's still Christmas for him.
Love to all.
In much more positive news....

We had a lovely family time today at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard 💙🎄

Most of the exhibits and activities are fully accessible and so much for the kids to do.

Unfortunately the lift to lower decks wasn't working on the HMS Warrior, mum didn't really mind but the team on board were determined to make sure we had a brilliant tour on the top deck.

This gentleman was brilliant 👏 gave us a tour with so much information and the kids even got to raise the flags of their initials ☺

From our family to yours we wish you a very Happy Christmas 🎄❤🎅

Nelson died at the Battle of Trafalgar but where is this plaque?

Answer:
This is on HMS Victory at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard which Maidenhead National Trust Association visited on day trips. A very interesting place to visit.
We love hearing about your visits to Boathouse 4 during your trip to the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard!

Depending on the number of tour guides we have available on the day, we run a daily volunteer led 2pm tour which gives you the chance to have a guided walk around the workshop floor and pontoon.

🎄Please note: Boathouse 4 will be shut on the 24th, 25th and 26th of December however will resume normal opening hours (10am-16:30pm everyday) from the 27th of December and throughout the winter season🎄
