HMS Warrior, launched in 1860, was the pride of Queen Victoria's fleet. The world's first iron hulled, armoured battleship, powered by steam and sail, she was the largest, fastest and most powerful ship of her day and had a profound effect on naval architecture. The only surviving member of Queen Victoria's Black Battle Fleet, Warrior has been fully restored to her original condition and offers four vast decks for visitors to explore.
In the year of her 150th anniversary, HMS Warrior 1860 provides an inspirational setting for learning across the curriculum. We offer a wide range of special events, hands-on workshops and self-led discovery visits, as well as a wide range of educational resources, to help you make the most of your visit. We also run a range of family learning activities during school holidays and at other times during the year.
"Warrior - potent source of education and inspiration for our children....."
