Kipping in the dunes
Nice pub on the quay, The Ship Anson, we went in for a coffee.
According to this plaque, there's been a pub here since the 1600s.
Recommend me places to visit in Southsea and Portsmouth please

You can volunteer there and all sorts of stuff. We ate in the restaurant in there, with a view out over the harbour. Lovely. Much better than pub food.

HMS Warrior
"Warrior and her sister ship HMS Black Prince were the first armour-plated, iron-hulled warships, and were built in response to France's launching in 1859 of the first ocean-going ironclad warship, the wooden-hulled Gloire." HMS Warrior (1860) - Wikipedia
It's vast, and has loads of interesting stuff on to look round. Several decks below you can go round.

I went back again to the Historic Dockyard the other week, cos the ticket you get lasts a year, so I used it again before it ran out.
Saw the Mary Rose this time, the exhibition was really good.
