Great little ship to visit, costs £2.50 per adult, kids free. It won't take you a massively long time to walk round, but you can visit the engine room, the crews quarters, etc. They also hide some teddy bears in different places, and the kids can hunt for them to keep them occupied. For those wanting a bit more, there is also a VR headset that you can put on and do a 9-minute video.We had a nice visit, and the staff / volunteers were very helpful and friendly.

A chance to see a unique vessel, see the progress already made to refurbish and repair her, and get an impression of the life of her crew when she was working.
