Hi, Sorry for delay!

So, you spotted my… (cough)… deliberate mistake. I often put them in just to check the readership is awake….

I also BS a lot!

You are absolutely right. Oops! And thanks again. Glad you like the dockyard so much. It IS an amazing piece of history.

Dear Madam/Sir,

One small typo:

“For example the HMS Victory 42-pounder cannon on display in The Sailing Navy gallery. No, not that HMS Victory, her predecessor, launched in 1837 and lost with all 1,100 hands in the English Channel in 1744, 21 years before Nelson’s flagship was launched. The wreck of Victory 1737 was only discovered recently and this cannon, which the museum has had since last Sept is one of two brought to the surface. ”

I think you meant 1737 rather than 1837?

Love the dockyard! I took my son there in 2019 and we had a fantastic day. Well presented with lots of fascinating activities and displays.

BZ!
