HMS Belfast Review

My first visit to Belfast was when I was 10 years old and now I am 59 and I am still as fascinated as I was then. If possible you have to go down to the engine room and boiler room. It is fascinating to see the internal structure of such a ship. For small children or those with mobility problems, these small corridors and vertical ladders are a workout and are very profoundly recognized

One of the largest light cruisers of the war, although this light should be quoted. The British ship, which is more than 11 thousand tons, has been involved in many naval battles and is said to have been involved in land shelling during the Korean War. It was used as Her Majesty's Royal Warship after the war.

The cruiser Belfast Museum (SMS Belfast) is an Edinburgh-class light cruiser built by the Royal Navy in the 1930s. In 1938, the water, with a displacement of 11,553 tons, each with two triple-mounted main gun turrets, was laid out in a back-mounted arrangement, equipped with four triple-mounted 6-inch (152 mm) main gun, one of the largest light cruisers built by the Royal Navy. The ship served in World War II and achieved great success. It is now parked near Tower Bridge on the Thames in London as a museum, under the jurisdiction of the Imperial War Museum.

When you take a boat tour of the Thames River, you see a ship parked in the middle of the river. That is the famous cruiser Belfast. He was the pride of the Royal Navy and had a brilliant war in World War II. Now he has become a museum of warships. It shows all kinds of living equipment and facilities for sailors. The scenes here are vivid and specific, with that kind of British sense of humour, which is very interesting.

After the tour of Tower Bridge in London, we walked along the Thames River for about five minutes and arrived at a decommissioned cruiser docked on the bank. This is the last scenic spot we visited today. Or with the one-day tour ticket in London for the name of the cruiser Belfast attraction tickets, today this London pass is still used more solid. The staff of the ticket office of the scenic spot told us responsibly that it usually takes more than two hours to visit the scenic spot, while we arrived only one hour away from the closing hall. Here we were originally crowded out of a scenic spot, so we rushed aboard the warship to start a "horse-racing and flower-watching" tour. The cruiser Belfast, an Edinburgh-class light cruiser of the Royal Navy, was launched in 1936 and drained 13,175 tons in 1938. It served brilliantly in World War II. The ship was decommissioned in 1963 and the dock upstream of the Tower Bridge was open to the public since the 1971 Trafalgar Day of Maritime War. This is the second British warship retained in the name of the country. Many of the open cabins on warships have life-size models, lifelike shapes, rich expressions, and real scenes, which allow visitors to feel the scene of recovery in their presence. Postal office, dining room, kitchen, activity room, hospital and other scenes let us feel the warship's concern for humanity. The warship exhibition room is a true reflection of the glorious history of the warship, climbing through the cab and captain's room to the front deck of the warship, which is also a good place to view the Thames River scenery. The tall modern buildings echo the old Tower Castle of London. The cruise ships come and go crisscross the river-crossing bridge with busy traffic. Crowds on the riverside avenues on both sides rise and fall one after another with various buildings. After some further exploration from the deck of the warship, it eventually retrograde into the bottom of the cabin, where the power plant of the warship is located. Giant machinery occupies all the space, and visitors can only travel through narrow corridors. Before we reached the negative third floor, we were blocked and asked to return by the staff near the closing and clearing. We regretted to return to the rear deck of the warship and leave the scenic spot on time.

The museum is in the warship, there are many layers of exhibition areas, each with immersive sound effects, when the life on the ship surfaced vividly.

It was my husband’s choice and I enjoyed the tour too. It was easy to find and a short walk from the station. We spent about 90 minutes on the boat and went all over the place. It was fun, but be aware of the stairs. Staff are friendly and helpful, and it is also a great place to take pictures of the Tower of London or the Tower of London and London Bridge.
