About us
Who we are
As custodians of historic buildings, boats and spaces in and around Portsmouth Harbour, we breathe new life into this Naval Heritage, creating energy and vibrancy, ensuring that it is sustainable and accessible for all.
We are an ambitious and collaborative charity. We actively create authentic, educational and enjoyable places, experiences and opportunities.We play a vital and creative role in the conservation, regeneration and interpretation of our two sites, the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and Priddy’s Hard in Gosport.
As well as buildings, we restore and operate a flotilla of historically significant vessels, ranging from a D-Day motor gunboat to a Boer War steam cutter. The Trust currently has 35 paid employees and over 100 volunteers.
