Field 01 About

A historic maritime museum housed in a restored lightship docked on the Portsmouth waterfront, offering families an immersive look at naval history and lighthouse operations. Best for curious kids ages 5+; younger toddlers may find the confined ship spaces challenging, but school-age children enjoy exploring the vessel's decks and learning about maritime heritage.
