The 2 of us enjoyed a fantastic time onboard the Shieldhall thanks to its amazing team of knowledgeable and friendly volunteers working in the engine room, on the bridge, at the shop/restaurant, on deck including a commentator on all landmarks we passed . They made a huge impression on my son who is a typical 'teen'. The vessel is very stable and I did not feel seasick, nor did I see the 3 hours pass by as we spent our time visiting the engine room as well as the bridge and every other part of the ship. We had a fab time! Suitable for e very age group.

4. SS Explorer
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 5 reviews
The SS Explorer is a historic ship located in Leith Docks in Edinburgh. Built in 1955 as the first purpose built Scottish marine research ship. This extraordinary piece of engineering heritage is a time capsule into life at sea between the 1950’s and 1980’s. The cabins are almost exactly as they were when the ship was decommissioned in 1985, complete with TV’s, phones and life jackets. See the difference between how the crew and officers lived. The SS Explorer Preservation Society intends to restore as much of the ship as possible, including a working main engine and create an exhibition and visitor museum ashore next to the ship. If you are interested in a tour of the SS Explorer please email us to arrange this. Unfortunately due to the historic nature of the ship it is not suitable for those with mobility issues as the many stairs inside are very steep. We are working on ways around this, but at the minute our only solution is a video tour on our website.

If you like steam engines and are interested in the now largely disappeared massive UK distant water fishing industry then it is a rare chance to see round a big steam trawler like those that used to sail from from Grimsby, Hull and Fleetwood in their hundreds. The volunteers are very welcoming and helpful. I have visited several times now and you can see the progress being made on saving this iconic ship - surely the last one afloat. You can set up a visit from the website which has lots of information.
5. The Black Pearl New Brighton
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 384 reviews
The Black Pearl is an interactive artwork to be enjoyed by all age groups it has been created and maintained by a small group of pasionate pirates. Allow your imagination to soar or just absorb the work and detail in the carefully selected driftwood and ships ropes. There are many sculptures and carvings to be found on and around the ship . If your lucky you may even find treasure in her treasure chest. The golden sands surrounding The Pearl are cleaned every day and perfect for the children to play on. The area of Cosy Cove is loved and treasured by the local community who always keep a close eye on her. Pirates At Art

I came across this on a brief visit to Lowestoft. My regret is that I did not have more time as it is a really interesting museum. It is quite an eye opener to see and appreciate the living conditions on board a traditional trawler. The volunteers are ethusiastic and informative and though it is free a donation is welcomed to maintain this fascinating attraction.

A brilliant trip to hear and see memories of Radio Caroline and pirate radio, an important part of our youth. Shown around by DJ Barry, all with masks and social distancing. Saw and heard the DJ on air from the on board studio. Also interesting to hear the story of the Ross Revenge, previously a cod fishing trawler and fascinating if you like looking at ships engines, generators etc as I do. You have to be quite agile to get on and off the tender boat from West Mersea and to climb up and down ladders!
