Love HMS Warrior! Been fortunate enough to attend a Dinner function onboard. Great experience. Also visited during the day on a number of occasions with family. Lots of history and you get to experience what the sailors lived liked. If you love Naval History this is a must!

Beautiful old warship. After a full day at the maritime museum, we were tirred when we got to Hms Warrior, we almost did not see it, but I am happy we saw it. It was much better than Victory. There was staff dressed like old sailors onboard and we really enjoyed talking with them, they could explain a lot and knew what they talked about. Nice that old ships are preserved and open for visitors. Interesting and worth to visit

The most powerful battleship, when it was launched. Now a peaceful museum. Very interesting! you can get an idea how the hundreds of sailors (over 700) lived on board her, under the decks with low ceilings. You can see how the dozens of cannons were arranged, you can see the machine room that ensured the propulsion (along with the sails, which had not yet been abandoned), you can see the huge cooking machine and many others.
