Maritime museum

Small but mightly! So glad we stopped in!

A very chill and relaxing place to have a drink. The place has information regarding the city hydraulic engineering including interactive activities I found really interesting.

Holland 1 (or HM submarine Torpedo Boat No 1) was the first submarine commissioned by the Royal Navy, the first in a six-boat batch of the Holland-class submarine. She was lost in 1913 while under tow to the scrapyard following decommissioning. Recovered in 1982, she was put on display at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, Gosport.In 1901 she was ordered from John Philip Holland and built at Barrow-in-Furness. The keel was laid down 4 February 1901. In order to keep the boat’s construction secret, she was assembled in a building labelled Yacht Shed"

The place has a free entrance or you can give a donation. Its nice to take a look at the history presented here, good for kids but also adults. Its a small museum but a nice one, with the look and feel of an old ship. We enjoyed.

I have never seen so much local history and information all in one place. Definitely worth visiting!!

Amazing to see on your own eyes

A museum with so much history of the local fishing community.Well worth a visit.

Little walk way is fab so much shops all around. Place looked so cute, was closing up when I was close to it but overall the walk along the pier is just breathtaking lots to see and everything looks so well organised and perfectly placed

Great visit. I chose to visit the Royal Navy Museum and HMS Warrior.The RN museum has a lot about admiral Nelson and lots about the RNs sailing ships. Plus some interesting stuff on the modern navy. There are guides soon dressed in uniform or period costume throughout the museum and they were friendly and helpful.HMS Warrior built in 1861 was huge. You are able to go from the main deck all the way down to the engine room and furnaces. Again there are various guides in period dress/uniform who were friendly and helpful.All very interesting. Allow 2hrs for the museum - longer if you stop and watch all the videos and interactive stuff. And about 1 to 2 hrs for HMS Warrior. You will not be able to get round everything in one day. Your best bet for tickets is to get the ultimate explorer pass online as you don't have to pay anything extra for the main attractions and the pass is valid for as many visits as you want for 12 months (at the same price as a 3 attraction ticket and there's way more than 3 attractions)

Seems pretty cool but despite having asked beforehand at the Plan Your Visit Section and being told that it was fine to enter the last exhibition before 5:15 pm, so we could roam about until 6:00 pm when it's their closing time, we were ushered out at 5:15 pm on the dot saying they had to lock up now. Very, very disappointing!Especially as the kids seemed to love this exhibition.All we got after complaining to the manager was a well-meant sorry!" but that doesn't help when you drove over an hour to get there and you saved the best for last for the kids.So
