DIVE THE MARY ROSE 4D
Discover the untold story of the Mary Rose in our brand new experience, Dive the Mary Rose 4D. Be taken underwater and hear incredible stories of her life as King Henry VIII’s favourite ship before her untimely sinking, learn about the many failed attempts to find her as she lay hidden at the bottom of the seabed, and discover the cutting edge science that was used to bring her back to the surface.
This incredible, immersive, attraction uses multi-sensory features, meaning you can hear, smell, and feel as if you were actually there.
VICTORY LIVE: THE BIG REPAIR
See the cutting-edge science involved in ensuring the Nation’s flagship, HMS Victory, is preserved for future generations. You’ll be able to walk the scaffolding encasing her hull, where you will see the experts at work, and see HMS Victory in an entirely new way.
Not only can you see HMS Victory from up high but you can now walk underneath her using our new under hull walkway, built into her original dry dock, gibing you a unique angle of all 3600 tonnes of her!
