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.

‘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.
Your Journey:
Sit back and relax as your cruise departs from Milford Sound Wharf, and makes its way out past the iconic Mitre Peak. Cruise the length of the 16km fiord, out past St Annes Point Lighthouse, while listening to informative commentary which will highlight points of interest along the way including the mighty Lady Bowen Falls, Lion Mountain, Copper Point, Seal Rock and Stirling Falls. We go further, and get you closer than any other operator in Milford Sound.
Whether you choose to keep warm with a complimentary tea/coffee seated inside our lounge or want to get outside and breathe in the pristine alpine air, you are going to be inspired by the majesty of the region.
Cruises have strictly limited passenger numbers, rewarding you with an intimate experience of Milford Sound while allowing for unobstructed photo opportunities from the outdoor viewing decks.
Be sure to keep an eye out for seals basking in the sun, pods of dolphins or rare Fiordland Crested Penguins that can be found seasonally within the region

Erleben Sie Nürnberg, die Stadt mit bewegter Geschichte zwischen Kaiserzeit, mittelalterlichen Reichstagen, Nationalsozialismus und den Nürnberger Prozessen.
Start der Bustour: München Bahnhofsvorplatz, jeweils am Donnerstag um 8:30 Uhr. Die Plätze sind bereits bis 20 Minuten vor der Abfahrt einzunehmen.
Dauer: ca. 10 Stunden
Eintritt ins Dokumentationszentrum nicht inbegriffen: 5 € pro Person
Vor dem Krieg war Nürnberg "des Deutschen Reiches Schatzkästlein". Dann regnete es reichlich Bomben auf die Stadt der Reichsparteitage, aber vieles steht noch, und sehr viel wurde wieder aufgebaut. Viele der Kunstschätze überstanden das in den Bunkeranlagen, die man bei einem Rundgang entdecken kann. Besuchen Sie die mittelalterlichen Lochgefängnisse, das Germanische Nationalmuseum, das Albrecht-Dürer-Haus, das Nicolaus Copernicus Planetarium oder das Spielzeugmuseum.
Im Süden Nürnbergs zeugen noch heute gigantische Baureste vom Größenwahn des nationalsozialistischen Regimes. Das Dokumentationszentrum Reichsparteitagsgelände befindet sich im Nordflügel der von den Nationalsozialisten für 50.000 Menschen konzipierten, unvollendet gebliebenen Kongresshalle. Auf 1.300 m² befasst sich die Dauerausstellung „Faszination und Gewalt“ mit den Ursachen, Zusammenhängen und Folgen der nationalsozialistischen Gewaltherrschaft.
Empfehlenswert ist auch der Besuch des „Memorium Nürnberger Prozesse - Saal 600“: Im Schwurgerichtssaal des Nürnberger Justizpalastes wurde Weltgeschichte geschrieben. Vom 20. November 1945 bis 1. Oktober 1946 mussten sich hier führende Vertreter des nationalsozialistischen Regimes vor einem internationalen Gericht für ihre Taten verantworten.
