Not only is it a terrific day out but the attractions (except perhaps Victory which is still in Commission) are all funded by visitor ticket purchases and donations.

You must go - it's a great day out and as I said the ticket lasts for 12 months if you buy an all attractions one (£26 for an adult). Family ticket deals including children look very good value.<br /><br />It includes a harbour tour as well so you can see what modern ships are in too.Trebianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221916804339000102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-14899388487285694452016-09-02T14:08:35.378+01:002016-09-02T14:08:35.378+01:00My wife and I were in Hampshire in May, and we'...My wife and I were in Hampshire in May, and we're sorry not to see the Mary Rose exhibit.
