This lovely weekend was so sunny and me and Angel have missed the sea very much, so we decided to go to Portsmouth. It's a very beautiful city. We also visited historic ships, one of which was "HMS VICTORY". It's a first rate ship of the Royal Navy. The length of this ship is 57m and its weight is 2176.4 tonnes. Around 6000 trees were used to make the ship, 90% of which were oak and the remainder elm, pine and fir. The ship was involved in 4 battles: First battle of Ushant (1778); Second battle of Ushant (1781); Battle of Cape St. Vincent (1796) and Battle of Trafalgar (1805). It's a very good experience to see "HMS VICTORY" for people who like history and other interesting attractions.
