Take ferries to Portsmouth to visit a 'must-see' attraction

Travellers planning Portsmouth ferry trips over the coming weeks have been encouraged to pay a visit to the Historic Dockyard to see the Mary Rose.

The vessel is the only Tudor warship on display in the world and is currently celebrating her 500th anniversary.

Visitors will be able to see the ship until September 20th, when she will be temporarily withdrawn from view so a new £35 million museum can be built at the dockyard.

After the development, the hull of the Mary Rose will be housed in a special boat-shaped building and a permanent museum will display thousands of artefacts that were found with the ship.

John Lippiett, chief executive of the Mary Rose Trust, said: "We have devised an imaginative programme of events and interpretations during the closure to give visitors a different, but equally fulfilling, visitor experience.

"We have a number of new, previously unseen exhibits planned that we know the public will be excited to see; we will be hosting the British Library's national travelling exhibition Henry VIII: Man and Monarch at the end of the year, and technology allows us to present the hull in innovative and exciting ways."

Brittany Ferries provides a Portsmouth to St Malo ferry route linking the port to France, as well as a service to Santander in Spain.

Other travel options include P&O Ferries' Portsmouth to Bilbao ferry service and the Portsmouth to Fishbourne ferry route served by Wightlink.
