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.
