One of the most powerful large light cruisers ever built, HMS Belfast is now the only surviving vessel of her type to have seen active service during the Second World War. HMS Belfast played a leading part in the destruction of the battle cruiser Scharnhorst, and also the Normandy Landings. In service with the Royal Navy until 1965, she was saved for the nation in 1971 as a unique reminder of Britain’s naval heritage. Launch! Shipbuilding Through the Ages This new family-orientated exhibition will use hands-on and computerised interactive displays and engaging film and footage to demonstrate techniques of shipbuilding, from the ‘age of sail’ to modern prefabrication methods. The exhibition will focus on the science, engineering and social history of shipbuilding in Great Britain, and the interactive elements of the exhibition will allow children of all ages to get involved and experience this history. Explore ‘What shall we give in return for so much?’ One of the most powerful large light cruisers ever built, HMS Belfast is now the only surviving vessel of her type to have seen active service during the Second World War. Serving Britain for 32 years, she played an important role in both the Second World War and the Korean War as well as performing peacekeeping duties throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Saved from destruction in 1971, HMS Belfast is now part of the Imperial War Museum and is the first ship to be preserved for the nation since Nelson’s Victory. Through its team of staff and volunteers – many of whom are veteran crew – the Imperial War Museum is dedicated to making sure that HMS Belfast still has a role to play in reminding visitors of her unique place in Britain’s maritime heritage. History of HMS Belfast The term 'cruiser' goes back to the days of sailing ships when large frigates could be detached from the main fleet to cruise independently. The sailing cruiser, like her twentieth-century counterpart, was sufficiently powerful and fast to attack and destroy enemy commerce raiders. During the nineteenth century when sail gave way to steam and wooden ships were replaced by those built of iron, and later of steel, the cruiser evolved into a powerful warship which was used to patrol the Empire trade routes and protect friendly merchant shipping. After the First World War (1914-1918) a single category of cruiser emerged whose size was indicated by the size of its guns; thus, HMS Belfast is a 6-inch cruiser, designed for the protection of trade, for offensive action, and as a powerful support for amphibious operations. Please note: children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Please allow 1½ - 2 hours for your visit.

DETALLES DEL TOUR Conozca a su Guía de interpretación certificada, súbase a nuestro lujoso vehículo Pink Adventure Tour Trekker y prepárese para una expedición única en la vida. Ya hemos cargado el almuerzo y el agua embotellada, además de pagar las tarifas de entrada al parque. En el camino hacia el Parque Nacional del Valle de la Muerte, su guía local experto compartirá información sobre el clima, la historia, la vida silvestre y el terreno del área. Desde su desnivel hasta su temperatura, esta área increíble es un destino de extremos únicos. A su llegada, se detendrá en el Centro de Visitantes para recoger mapas, libros y su sello de pasaporte del Parque Nacional. Luego irán a Badwater Basin. Tome a la señal que indica su altitud (86m bajo el nivel del mar) como el punto más bajo en el hemisferio occidental. Su guía puede explicar cómo la extraordinaria altitud y el terreno afectan el clima para hacer de este uno de los lugares más cálidos del planeta. (No se preocupe, nuestros tours se realizan en los meses más cálidos de septiembre a mayo). Hace miles de años, la cuenca de Badwater fue un lago que finalmente se evaporó. Las salinas que quedan hoy son un espectáculo inolvidable. Quédase en el camino y tráigase las gafas de sol; los campos de sal son de color blanco brillante bajo el sol y son peligrosos de atravesar, especialmente en el Devil’s Golf Course. Protegido de inundaciones periódicas a una altitud ligeramente mayor, el Devil's Golf es famoso por sus impresionantes picos de sal. A 5,000 pies sobre el Valle de la Muerte, puede ver todos los puntos de referencia del día desde la terraza panorámica de Dante’s View. En días despejados, podrás ver Mount Whitney y Badwater Basin al mismo tiempo, que son los puntos más altos y más bajos de los EE. UU., respectivamente.
