The National Museum of the Royal Navy

@brialerus (2/2) We acknowledge your frustration and will be sure to pass your feedback on, though hope you can understand that income through our admissions and shop purchases help to secure our future and allow many generations to learn from and enjoy our Naval heritage. ^KU

@NatMuseumRN £115 for me , my wife and my daughter to see it 😟 Well I guess that gets rid of people on normal or low incomes then 🤷‍♂️

⚓ HMS Victory was never meant to last forever. She’s built from wood, canvas & hemp and in a northern European climate, that means one thing. Decay. Constant maintenance was essential. Conservation today is about protecting what matters most. orlo.uk/gQH36

@brialerus (1/2) Hello, thanks for your comment. We are committed to and continually working towards reducing barriers to access our Naval History, and continue to offer a range of discounts and offers, found on our website here: bit.ly/CE-Discounts. ^KU

@Gorty674623 (2/2) We offer a range of free programming events across school holidays and monthly tours of our collections stores at no extra cost. As a charity and museum, it is important to us to provide a place of learning though as you can understand, this also means income is essential

@NatMuseumRN £46 for a ship that under a balloon... Save your money and wait until she's finished, though who knows that the ticket price will be by then

@Gorty674623 (1/2) Hello, we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are committed to providing excellent value for money and our Portsmouth Historic Dockyard tickets provide unlimited entry to all attractions for 1 year.

@newstem61 Hi Mark, the environments and decay processes for HMS Victory and Mary Rose are different in nature and therefore our dedicated teams approach conservation and long-term curation via different methods. We hope to welcome you soon to able to see the two ships up close. ^KU

@NatMuseumRN Why can't you keep it in a dry dock museum fully protected from the climate?

On 20 April 1949, HMS Amethyst came under fire & was trapped near Nanjing during the Yangtze Incident 3 months later she escaped under cover of darkness after one of the most challenging incidents of post-war Royal Navy service orlo.uk/v6IzQ 📷HMS Amethyst Hong Kong

For over 360 years, Royal Marines have operated on the front line in conflict, crisis, and places most of us will never see. Now, at the new Royal Marines Experience in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, their stories will be brought together and told in their own words.

For over 360 years, Royal Marines have served this country often without recognition. This building is about keeping a promise that the courage of those who served and the memory of those who did not return will not fade. Honour their legacy. orlo.uk/YVw7k

On 17 April 1963, HMS Dreadnought was commissioned into the Royal Navy, becoming Britain’s first nuclear-powered submarine Powered by a nuclear reactor, she could remain submerged for extended periods and travel at sustained high speeds without surfacing orlo.uk/MNXqw

@uk08462 Hi Simon, thanks for your feedback we're sorry to hear this. Please send us a DM so we can discuss further with you. We hope to hear from you soon. ^SF

@NatMuseumRN I’m in Portsmouth this afternoon and planned to go to the Submarine Museum but see I have to buy a ticket for all Dockyard attractions. Sadly I shall not now be visiting the Submarine Museum

⚓ The timber keeping HMS Victory alive doesn’t all come from Britain. Today we source oak from centuries-old forestry systems in France. There is evidence that Horatio Nelson supported the idea of sustainable forestry during his lifetime. orlo.uk/iOXgS

🗓️ OnThisDay | 11 April | HMS Bellerophon completed Bellerophon pushed naval design forward in the 1860s. A stronger hull & a double bottom for survival. New 9-inch guns, & by the 1880s, breech-loading weapons. See her figurehead at @PHDockyard orlo.uk/TCaOG

On 9 April 1853, HMS Malacca was launched Built from teak in Moulmein, Burma, she sailed to England before even being fitted with her engine She went on to serve across the Mediterranean, West Indies & North America See her figurehead at @PHDockyard orlo.uk/ZvB7a

9 April 1944 HMS X24 set out for Bergen Harbour to destroy a U-boat repair dock. The first attempt hit the wrong target. Months later, she returned and completed the mission See the only surviving British X-craft, X24 at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum orlo.uk/6MLPe

⚓ How much of HMS Victory is still “original”? It’s a question people have been asking for centuries. Conservation isn’t about replacing history. It’s about understanding change and making sure the story can still be experienced for years to come. orlo.uk/5J7Nl

🗓️ 7 April 1906 HMS Dreadnought began her sea trials, introducing a faster, turbine-powered battleship with an all-big-gun design. She rendered existing fleets obsolete and gave her name to a new era: the dreadnoughts. Discover more at @NatMuseumRN orlo.uk/5fCiv

£2.5 million remains to complete it. Now, we are asking the nation to help. Honour Our Heroes. Tell Their Stories.

For over 360 years, Royal Marines have served with courage, discipline, and resilience. Often out of sight, often without recognition. The Royal Marines Experience will bring those stories together, past and present ensuring that they are not lost. orlo.uk/ynK3q
