It's a huge ship and you can search all the different decks and cabins and have adventures on board.

The kitchen deck smells a bit and the engine deck is a bit scary, but it is a very interesting place to visit. There are people working on the HMS Belfast.

They tell you all about the places it has been and what the different things on the ship are. Ome man who works on board gave me the Captain's coat and hat to wear.

I had some binoculars too and could see some great views from the top deck. There are also flags on the open deck of the ship. You use these to send messages and a man shows you how to send a message to the people walking on the river bank. It was a great day out.

From July 2011 the HMS Belfast will feature a new Gun Turret Experience that recreates a naval battle.
