A Walk Around The Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, England
Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is an area of HM Naval Base Portsmouth which is open to the public; it contains several historic buildings and ships. It is managed by the National Museum of the Royal Navy as an umbrella organisation representing five charities: the Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust, the National Museum of the Royal Navy Portsmouth, the Mary Rose Trust, the Warrior Preservation Trust Ltd and the HMS Victory Preservation Company. Portsmouth Historic Dockyard Ltd was created to promote and manage the tourism element of the Royal Navy Dockyard, with the relevant trusts maintaining and interpreting their own attractions. It also promotes other nearby navy-related tourist attractions.
The National Museum of the Royal Navy was first opened in Portsmouth in 1911. The museum is host to many original Naval artefacts, including one of the original sails from the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. You can also see the Trafalgar Experience, an interactive walk-through gallery which details the Battle of Trafalgar and ends with the famous Wyllie Panorama. The museum also includes World War I Monitor HMS M33, which opened to the public in 2015, the centenary year of her launch.
HMS Victory has been open to the public for nearly 200 years. She was the famous flagship of Admiral Horatio, Lord Nelson who he famously died on during the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. She was moved into her current dry-dock in 1922 where she has remained since.
The Mary Rose was raised in front of a worldwide TV audience in 1982. She was then brought to Portsmouth and housed in dry dock. A new £35million museum, housing the ship and thousands of artefacts that were also recovered, opened in May 2013.
HMS Warrior 1860 was brought back home to Portsmouth in 1987, to further add to the collection of historic ships Portsmouth had to offer. As the world’s first iron clad warship, she represented a milestone in shipbuilding when sh was launched in 1860 and never fired a shot in anger.
Harbour Tours represent the chance to see the Historic Dockyard and Naval Base from the water. The trip leaves from Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, heads up to the North West corner of the Naval Base, making a quick stop at Gunwharf Quays before coming back to the Historic Dockyard.
Action Stations opened to the public in 2001 in the historic Boathouse No. 6. This building houses an interactive experience of the modern Royal Navy, including flight simulators, climbing walls and towers amongst many others. A recent addition is a Laser Quest experience, which offers another completely different use of this building
Boathouse 4 is due to open in 2015 as a Boatbuilding and Heritage Skills Centre Alongside an exhibition telling the story of small boats in the Royal Navy, visitors will be able to see traditional boatbuilding skills in action. The nearby Boathouse 5 houses a Historic Boat Workshop, part of the International Boatbuilding Training College.

We could not do everything there partly because of Bruce's age and time constraints. Watch out for the next video which will look at the vintage-styled machine games at Boathouse 7's restaurant!
We are hoping to do a Part 4 later on, featuring the ship HMS Victory. We did not get a chance to go onboard the HMS Warrior on this trip.

Royal Navy Fleet Protection Team in Action
The skill of the Royal Navy's Fleet Protection Team has been demonstrated in a short video produced by HMS Kent's boarding team.
The video of the men from 43 Commando Fleet Protection Group Royal Marines was compiled while the Portsmouth based frigate carried out maritime patrols in the Gulf.
The Fleet Protection Group, based at HM Naval Base Clyde, is made up of three rifle squadrons and an HQ squadron.
It is their role to provide military support to convoys as well as conducting boarding operations on non compliant ships in line with UN resolutions in the Gulf.

VLOG#01 PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND
A SUPER SHORT VLOG, TAKING YOU AROUND THE HARBOUR♡
A Visit to the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard
On May 29 & 30, 2019, I visited the Historic Dockyard in Portsmouth, England. The first day, I planned to see the tall ships and visit the National Museum of the Royal Navy, but it was too wet and rainy; the visit was salvaged by the fact that the Royal Marines School of Music was sponsoring a military band tattoo event on Victory Arena, adjacent to the HMS Victory, so I watched that instead (see my separate video of the entire performance).
The next day, I had a reservation on a coastal cruise, followed by a steam train excursion, but the cruise was cancelled due to stiff winds offshore, making the sea too rough. So, since the weather was otherwise very nice and clear, I returned to the dockyard and did what I had planned to to the previous day, except I ran out of time and did not visit the National Museum of the Royal Navy. Just as well, since I think the three ships I DID visit make for better video.
I visited the HMS Victory, and the HMS Warrior, as well as the Mary Rose museum.
