HMS Monitor to open to the public
Plans to provide public access to a First World War warship in Hampshire will be looked at next week. HMS Monitor, launched in 1915 and used to ferry British and Commonwealth troops during the Gallipoli campaign, is currently docked in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
The M33 coastal bombardment vessel was also used in 1919 for the Russian Civil War, covering the withdrawal of Allied and White Russian troops from north Russia. It was acquired by Hampshire County Council's museum service in 1990, but can only be viewed from the dockside.
