If you would like to see the new galleries at the Naval Museum; have a brief introduction to the research facilities available there; see how prisoners of war lived at Portchester Castle; visit the Royal Marines Museum; walk around the Portsmouth that Nelson, Hornblower and the like would have known; study HMS Victory; learn in detail of the Royal Navy of the Napoleonic Wars; view the site of the infamous mutiny at Spithead; and have an enjoyable and relaxing weekend, then this tour is for you!
Midas held this tour last October and it proved such a success that it will be run again over the weekend of 22-24 October 1999. It provides the background to the Hornblower TV series, and is presented by Paul Chamberlain. If you would like further details of this fascinating and varied tour, contact Midas Historic Tours, Halland House, 66 York Road, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13 9DY. Tel 01932 831155.
