Brasshopper
in Portsmouth
Travelling with David and Kate during April 2001 Brasshopper is
pictured here enjoying a view of HMS Warrior in Portsmouth harbour.
Brasshopper also discovered more ships in Portsmouth's historic
dockyard including the Marie Rose and HMS Victory. HMS Victory was
the flagship of Nelson's fleet used in the Battle of Trafalgar in
1805.
Brasshopper also discovered that Portsmouth is the birthplace of
Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the famous bridge builder.
