The HMS Belfast


The HMS Belfast is part of the Imperial War Museum.   This battleship is moored beside the Tower Bridge and is really for the enthusiast only, but anyone will find it impressive that people went to sea, and did battle in these ships that, from a modern perspective, resemble tin cans.  The Maritime Museum in Greenwich has more early examples of Britain's war machinery.  For other examples of Britain's military machinery, there's the new Royal Artillery museum.

  1. Thank you for the photos and articles. It's been 26 years since I set foot on English soil and they are a wonderful reminder of the history and Pagaentry of England.Lovely to visit without moving from our home in Queensland Australia.
