Web: www.submarine-museum.co.uk/ Dive into history at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum in Gosport, Hampshire and go onboard an actual WWII era submarine - HMS Alliance with a veteran submariner to hear his stories about living beneath the waves. Peer into the only surviving midget submarine to have seen action during WW2 and step inside the Royal Navy’s first submarine Holland 1 that is over 100years old. Dive deeper into our history galleries and discover the “derring do” of the nation’s Victoria Cross heroic submariners. New for 2010!!! Go back in time and see a replica of the world's forst practical submarine, the Drebbel built in 1620 built by Cornelis Drebbel who also invented the chimney and early microscopes. Feel the force, keep a submarine buoyant and fight the enemy in the interactive science gallery. Families can also find out why submarines fly Jolly Rogers and dress up as a pirate to set sail for more fun in the Skull & Crossbones exhibition! Complete your visit with a frothy coffee and a very sticky cake at the Harbour Stations coffee shop overlooking Portsmouth Harbour.
