Regular musketry, cannon firing and sword fighting displays bring the past to life. Featuring the short film 'Pressganged', replica quayside shops, Children's Adventure Centre and Playship. Experience life onboard a warship in our newly refurbished audio visual tour 'Fighting Ships' before exploring the real thing - HMS Trincomalee, the oldest warship afloat in the UK.
