The Royal Naval Museum is loaded with exhibits. I’ll just show you three more. First is the submarine, HMS Alliance,

The HMS Victory was the English fleet’s flagship in the Battle of Trafalgar. That battle defeated the combined Spanish and, under Napoleon, French battle fleets, and saved England from being invaded. Trafalgar is off the coast of Spain. The Victory is undergoing restoration. Most of the interior is intact.

The Mary Rose was King Henry VIII’s flagship. It sank in 1545 and was salvaged near the mouth of Portsmouth Harbor in 1985. There isn’t much of the ship left, but the wreckage was loaded with artifacts.
