Hi, Ken and I visited the Victory, Mary Rose and Warrior last May 24, 2004 and thoroughly enjoyed it, and no crowds either. Will come back for sure.

We were given a leaflet about the Victory which says it was the sixth ship to be called HMS Victory and was launched on 7 May 1765.It has been in Portsmouth since 12 Jan 1922 and opened to the public in 1928, having 33 million visitors since!!
