The ship has been painstakingly preserved and restored to its Georgian colors, and features a range of interactive exhibits and audio guides that bring its history to life. Families can learn about the harsh conditions faced by the crew, the battle of Trafalgar, and the conservation efforts that have gone into preserving the ship.
