Visiting the Iron Duke

DSCF5188

View from the pointy end, which I’m reliably informed is called the “bow”.

We went to see HMS Iron Duke today. This is a warship that has “adopted” the city of Hull and drops by whenever it is passing, although perhaps it is a bit more complicated than that. Anyhoo, we went off to take a look round and grab some pictures. Thanks to the crew for letting a bunch of folks traipse around your decks.

I love this sign. I just worry that I don’t know what the alarm sounds like…

The Lord Mayor came to see the ship too. That’s his Jag.
