porstmouth




yesterday we went to the porstmouth historic dockyard where there were a famous ship and a VERY famous ship. the famouse ship was called the HMS warrior which fought in the battle of trafalgar. we went on a tour around the harbour and saw loads of new and old destroyes and one aircraft carrier. after the tour we went to the new spinker tower which has the largest glass floor in europe. when we came down we went to possibly the most famous ships in the world (this is my favorite part) we went on the HMS VICTORY the flag ship during the trafalgar war with amrial lord Nelson in charge of the fleet the won. if you don't know the story lord nelson was pacing up the deck with the captain when he was shot be a french musketier and mortaly wounded having a bullet in his shoulder one piercing his lung and the last gamming into his spine. but the victory still sunk the french ship from point blank range.
