Day 5

We took a bus to Portsmouth to the Historic Dockyard. We toured the HMS Victory, the worlds oldest commissioned warship. Lord Nelson was killed on it.
The HMS Warrior 1860 - the worlds first armored warship launched in 1860. We did tour the whole ship. Just didn't take photo til they closed.
And toured the Mary Rose museum.  That ship was part of Henry VIII's fleet. It was pulled up from the bottom of the ocean partially preserved and containing artifacts and bodies of the crew. Including a full skeleton of one of the ship's dogs.
Back to London at 9pm.
