We visited Portsmouth a second time. It was the day Portsmouth won the Division II football cup, so the Dockyard was not crowded at all, but there were many people in blue and white on the streets with jester hats and flags, and many cars honking.
Portsmouth is a wonderful tourist city. We still should go back again.

“Action Stations” is a museum in which you pretend that you are in the Royal Navy. All the children liked it, but especially Benjamin, who loved shooting guns at approaching aircraft.

The Mary Rose Museum, about a ship of Henry VIII which sank in Portsmouth Harbor and was raised recently, is very very good. It has the best armor you can put on (both adult and child sized) and weapons (including a 15 foot pike you can try lifting) I have seen.
