The Michelin Guide's review
The masts of HMS Trincomalee (1817), moored at Jackson Dock, tower above the restored quayside. Re-created 19C buildings include a prison for French prisoners during the Napoleonic Wars, a printing workshop and a shipping supply business. Galleries house displays on naval life in the days of the Empire. On the same site is a museum with the remains of a Saxon monastery and a medieval sea port.
