This is a new venture run by volunteers and independent of Victory, Warrior etc. who maintain an exhibition on dockyard apprentices as well as caring for an extensive collection of artefacts relating to 500 years of shipbuilding at Portsmouth.
Not open to the general public, the museum can only be visited by specialist groups such as ours.
Numbers are limited to 24 so advance registration is essential.
There is no entrance charge but they suggest a donation to the Trust of £5 per head.
The visit entails climbing stairs in the former storehouses.

MEET at the Victory Gate at 10.30am. Parking is available in the Historic Dockyard car park signposted via Queen Street, charge £6 for 6 hours.
As the dockyard is adjacent to Portsmouth Harbour Station it may be easier to travel by train. - The 08.33am ex Brighton (to Southampton Central, change at Chichester) Worthing 08.55am, Chichester 09.35am, Portsmouth Harbour arrive 10.13am.

The tours will end at 2.15pm with a break for lunch at 12.00 – there are eateries within the dockyard – after which we are free to explore the rest of the dockyard’s attractions.

Sussex has a wide range of vernacular building materials from bricks and sandstones to flint cobbles and thatch; this range is dependent on the underlying geology and also on transport routes. We look at a range of issues and examples from High Weald to foreshore and from Selsey to Rye.
