HMS Belfast

1824 days ago

What’s that you ask? It’s a floating museum berthed at the Thames River (London)! Some old cruiser or something that was converted to a museum. And I have tricked Peter into writing an article about it and allowing us to place his article on my directory. Am I persuasive or what? Perhaps it was my undeniable sense of humour? Whatever it was, it did the trick. He had been to this museum and loved it! I bet you would too.

Please take a look at Peter’s HMS Belfast Article. Wow, this huge monster really looks impressive. And those twelve 6 inch guns! Must really pack a mean punch to it’s enemies. Not as powerful as those battleships with their 18 inch guns, but these are actually light cruisers with very heavy armament – battle cruisers. I think those sailors living in these steel monsters feel like they can take on the entire world and come out unscaved until they see another much bigger ship pointing their bigger guns at them.

This museum is for those interested in history and military warfare. But if you like something unique, this looks like one nice place to visit too and it acts as a reminder that Britain was once an impressive naval power. The ship officially became a floating museum on 21 October 1971. The best thing about visiting this vessel is that you won’t get seasick on this ship! For some, it’s like heaven.
