HARTLEPOOL

Where a historic warship resides

The oldest warship afloat anywhere in the world is now the centrepiec­e of the Historic Dockyard Museum in Hartlepool. She was built in Bombay just after the Napoleonic Wars and went on to quell riots in Haiti, stop a threatened invasion of Cuba, and serve on an anti-slavery patrol. hms-trincomale­e.co.uk
