HMS Warrior

She has four decks all scattered with Victorian artefacts also guns everywhere big and small. She was made to be a battleship. The HMS Warrior was launched on December 29th 1860 on the coldest winter in 50 years. It took a very long time just to get her into the water but once she was in, John Pakington the Lord of admiralty smashed a bottle on her and said god speed.

When the HMS Warrior first went onto the seas it changed the way ships were built. It was so strong you could say it was invincible and obviously it was because it is still here today in Portsmouth. When you step on her she is described to have a sleek smooth wooden floor.
