I've never thought much about ironclads, but those are some interesting ones. I am sorry to have been absent during your low point, please know you have my support. I also think that the updated conservatory looks absolutely fabulous. It should be a very pleasant place to be. That's a little all over the place for one comment. Sorry.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-50077428922784905092014-04-29T15:10:19.546+01:002014-04-29T15:10:19.546+01:00I have been to the Historic Dockyard at Portsmouth...I have been to the Historic Dockyard at Portsmouth where HMS Victory is situated. <br /><br />HMS M33 is immediately adjacent. You can see the fore topmast of the Victory in your photograph.<br /><br />HMS M33 was not open to visitors when I was there. I don't think she has ever been open!<br />Jim Duncan Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114076455087495681noreply@blogger.com
