Our Story
On 28th June 1911, The Dockyard Museum opened in Portsmouth, growing and evolving into the Royal Naval Museum, which then became a part of the newly formed National Museum of the Royal Navy in September 2009.
Since that day, The National Museum has expanded to encompass The Royal Navy Submarine Museum and Explosion! Museum of Naval Firepower in Gosport, Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovilton, HMS Caroline in Belfast, and HMS Trincomalee in Hartlepool.
The National Museum of the Royal Navy has a simple vision; to be the world’s most respected naval museum, underpinned by a spirit of enthusiasm and adventure.

Making Museums Accessible to Those With Disabilities ...
Anyone else noticed HMS Queen Elisabeths giant ships cat?
My uncle Spencer Oliver Cross served on the HMS Ibis which was torpedoed leaving only a few survivors.
Spencer keeps good health and I would just like to know if there are any other survivor's still living
Does the museum have any records of the actions of HMS Africa or her Captain Henry Digby during the Battle of Trafalgar?

This is a version of a post on the page of the Palmerston Forts Society and Portsdown Artillery Volunteers.
Here are a few zoom-ins from a recently discovered picture of East Were Battery and Portland Harbour.
There are 14 vessels visible in Portland Harbour beyond East Were C Battery. Can you help us to identify them?
The picture is certainly from the second half of the 1880s. The ships assembled to cover the Channel during this period were not titled a 'fleet' but a 'squadron' prefixed often by the words 'particular service' and even, at least on one occasion 'evolutionary'. It was certainly a period of evolution and major warships were often built as 'samples' rather than a class.
We think that ship number 13 is almost certainly HMS Shannon. An armoured cruiser of 5,670 tons, she has the right silhouette. She was at Portland in early June 1885, but she had sponsons abreast of her funnel. Are they in the image? If not, it is not the Shannon.
Ship number 9 looks like a Minotaur class – HMS Minotaur, HMS Agincourt or HMS Northumberland. My source tells me that these were the only five-masted ironclads in British service.
Could ship number 14 be the revolutionary HMS Devastation or HMS Thunderer? I can just about convince myself that the two turrets are visible.
Let’s have some ideas from the ship experts.
