Iconic Portsmouth Warship HMS Warrior 1860 Shuts Its Doors – For Now!

Portsmouth’s beloved tourist magnet, HMS Warrior 1860, has suddenly closed up shop today, citing just “unforeseen circumstances.”

The ironclad battleship’s official Facebook page posted a brief but mysterious update: “Unfortunately, HMS Warrior 1860 will be closed today due to unforeseen circumstances. We aim to resolve the matter as soon as possible.”

Is HMS Warrior Back in Action?

While this is pure conjecture, the sudden closure has certainly stirred up the imagination. Stay tuned for more updates as this story unfolds.
