In Portsmouth we are lucky enough to have a historical dockyard which houses HMS Victory, as well as The Warrior and the remains of The Mary Rose. Yesterday we joined a local home education group on a tour of The Victory, followed by a "Victory Shipmates" workshop and a tour of the museum. The children all learnt simple navigation including using a compass and working out latitude and longitude, knot tying and sending signals, and were able to dress up in traditional navy costumes and discover first-hand what life was like in Nelson’s Navy. It was a really interesting day (and also a little scary going below decks on The Victory) and Hannah loved the workshop - especially studying the globe, locating the oceans, and spelling her name in flags!
Unfortunately photo's were prohibited on board The Victory, but i did get some pictures of the rest of the day.
Waiting to go on board!
