Great visit, really enjoyed our walk around the ship and the dockyard. Very interesting.

Excellent day out for old and young alike. Lots to see and experience, and the process of buying a ticket online was relatively easy. The ticket lasts for a full year so will definitely be returning. Had something to eat whilst inside and value for money wasn't too bad too. Staff are friendly, and I was really impressed with how much there was to see and do. (Beautiful views of the marina and the ship is amazing to experience).

Beautiful 200 year old 38 gun frigate in remarkably good condition The lower decks have limited head room as you would expect with trip hazards and steep steps.. not for people with mobility issues Plenty of guides to answer questions and tell the story of how a ship built in Bombay in 1817 ended up in Hartlepool

A fantastic tour of this lovely ship. Steve was very informative and brought the ship to life. The museum was very good and lots to do on the quay side. And a great demonstration of the firing of the Canon. Very good value.
