Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is home to three famous ships: the Mary Rose, HMS Victory and HMS Warrior 1860. The Mary Rose, which was Henry VIII’s favourite warship, sank in 1545, but was raised from the sea in 1982. Today, visitors can enter the Mary Rose Museum and Ship Hall, where more than 1000 artefacts are on display. They can also see HMS Victory, which is the world’s oldest commissioned warship, used by Nelson in the Battle of Trafalgar (1805) to defeat the Franco-Spanish fleet. Also on display is the HMS Warrior 1860, the world’s first iron battleship, one of the largest and fastest warships at the time. The Royal Naval Museum is closeby and houses an interactive Dockyard Apprentice Exhibition. In 2005 Flagship Portsmouth opened a special Trafalgar exhibition commerating the 200th anniversary of the famous battle.
