The oldest of the three ships that you can explore here at Chatham. Built in 1878 and is still mostly intact (the engine is missing). No need to book a tour of this one and able to roam at your own leisure. Some of the steps are pretty steep particularly to the level below deck.

A nice ship to explore with spaces above and below decks. Beautifully preserved and a great addition to the attractions at the dockyard.

Fascinating old ship to be on. Kids loved the Pirate tour! Lots to investigate above and below decks. Top class.

To anyone reading this please remove all doubt or hesitancy when booking this venue. Their level of client care and client response is phenomenal. Chloe Wilson is one of the most professional wedding/events organiser I have ever encountered and their MD, Mark Sandberg is committed to delivering a wonderful experience and really and truly cascades that ethos through his team. We had a hiccup or two, nothing any of our guests noticed and every hiccup was resolved and smoothed out without any fuss ...we have been so impressed with them both ...Thank you both for truly caring and being truly committed to making our wedding day be remembered as being a lovely one . Warmest wishes and true thanks Joyti...
