Description
HMS Belfast was launched in 1938 and served with distinction in both the Second World War and the Korean War. She is now the only surviving example of the great fleets of big gun armoured warships built for the Royal Navy in the first half of the twentieth century. HMS Belfast is moored on the River Thames, with an idyllic location between London Bridge and Tower Bridge. On 5 August 1939 HMS Belfast was commissioned into the Royal Navy and just a month later she was at war. On 21 November 1939, whilst leaving the Firth of Forth, HMS Belfast was severely damaged by a German magnetic mine, the damage was so severe that it was almost three years before she was fit for action again. She continued to serve in active military engagements until 1952, including participation in the destruction of the battle cruiser Scharnhorst the Normandy Landings and the Korean War. She remained in service until 1965.With a London Pass you can enjoy free entry to the HMS Belfast – a saving of over £10 on the normal adult entry price. London Pass is great for sightseeing and holders benefit from the following: - Free Entry to over 55

Description
Vintage lithograph print depicting the Battle of Hampton Roads, often known as the Battle of the Monitor and Merrimack (or Merrimac), during the American Civil War. The battle, the most famous naval engagement of the war, was fought on March 8 + 9 1862 off Sewell's Point at Hampton Roads, Virginia, where the Elizabeth + Nansemond Rivers meet the James River just before it enters Chesapeake Bay. It was part of a Confederate bid to break a Union blockade which had cut off Virginia's largest cities Norfolk and Richmond from international trade. The engagement was significant because it was the world's first meeting in combat of two ironclad warships - the Confederate CSS Virginia (in reality the salvaged federal frigate USS Merrimack which had been fitted with iron armour and renamed the Virginia) and the smaller Union USS Monitor. On March 8 the Virginia destroyed two conventional wooden Union ships and a third, the USS Minnesota, ran aground (burning offshore in the print to the left of the fighting ironclads). The next day the Virginia returned to finish off the Minnesota but was met by the Monitor which had arrived overnight and took position to defend the Minnesota. The ironclads fought for around three hours but neither inflicted fatal damage and there was no clear winner. The battle won worldwide publicity and marked a new era in naval warfare - leading naval powers Britain and France halted construction of wooden-hulled ships and others soon followed.
