HMS Warrior Portsmouth

A Good friend of nearly 40 years got married on Aug 29th and this was his reception venue !!

HMS Warrior was the name ship of her class of two 40-gun steam-powered armoured frigates built for the Royal Navy in 1859–61. She and her sister ship HMS Black Prince were the first armour-plated, iron-hulled warships, and were built in response to France's launching in 1859 of the first ocean-going ironclad warship,

Listed as part of the National Historic Fleet, Warrior has been based in Portsmouth since 1987.
