Portsmouth Historic Dockyard

[7] In addition, The Trust founded the Memorial Flotilla, the finest collection of small boats involved in late 19th and 20th century conflicts, as well as the International Boatbuilding Training College (IBTC), in Boathouse 4,[8] where traditional boat building skills are taught.

A large volunteer force is engaged on the restoration and operation of the Trust’s historic collection of boats.

The Trust is also managing the regeneration of the 30 acre site at Priddy's Hard, Gosport.

The first development phase is due for completion in the summer of 2021, with the restoration of the ramparts and seven listed buildings, to include a new Coastal Forces Museum, micro-brewery, pub restaurant and holiday let.

Thirty new homes will also be built this year with a further major development phase to follow in the near future.
