Portsmouth is one of the UK’s most famous ports (hence the name) and located on the south coast of Hampshire. This interesting city also had a rich history attached to it: it’s the UK’s only island city, was granted its first charter in 1194 by King Richard (aka Richard the Lion heart) and is known across the world for being the home of the Royal Navy. As a result, it’s the proud holder of a vast selection of historic ships including the HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and the Mary Rose. As the name suggests, Portsmouth is also a hugely important port and serves a flurry of ferry services, cruise ships and international deep water cargo vessels every year.
