Portsmouth Naval Museum. (Pt1)

I've been meaning to visit the naval museum at Portsmouth dockyard for ages and recently I finally got my chance. Sadly I didn't get the opportunity to do all of it but some brisk walking and careful time management gave me a good look around 1. The Jutland exhibition. 2. HMS Minerva and 3. The RN Museum.itself.

Here's some pictures I took plus a video or two. 

It was nice and quiet when I arrived. 

First port of call was to get a few shots of the HMS Warrior

I don't think that white tent thing is original...

Doesn't detract from what a handsome ship she is. 

This is an..RAF launch?..belonging to the boat restoration workshop on the other side of this pier.

The day was glorious which made the sea an uncharacteristically pretty shade of blue.

  

I rather like this shot. Warrior on one side, the Spinnaker Tower on the other, an old anchor in the middle.

No idea what that smudge is in the centre.  Either the spirits are trying to get my attention or I've scratched my camera lens. 

While I was there I decided to snap some local wildlife.

 This seagull looks like a right grumpy sod, doesn't he? 

There's a look in his eyes and a tilt to his beak giving off a strong aura of "Sod you."

More tomorrow.
