Did you know?

HMS Warrior, Britain's first seagoing iron-clad warship, was launched on this day exactly 160 years ago. She froze to the slipway when she was launched during London's coldest winter for 50 years and six tugs were required to haul her into the river. In later years Warrior was saved from being scrapped by the efforts of the Maritime Trust. The restoration took eight years. Today, the ship is moored in Portsmouth, can used as a venue for special events, or be privately hired as a wedding venue.
