[@mattking111]

Really enjoyed this, especially the parts with Rusty in 😉

[@SolentShips]

Thanks shipmate.

[@rodhart2154]

What a lovely walk, thank you so much. Have not been to Southampton for 35 years, this video has made me want to come back.

[@SolentShips]

Thanks shipmate. You might want to wait until the pubs are open to avoid disappointment.

[@PacificAirPhoto1]

Loved this tour, what a charming place Southampton is, never mind being such an historical landmark! Thanks for showing us around... please thank Mrs. Ships and Rusty for their assistance! 😊 🛳

[@mrwilliamwhizz]

Very interesting video, thanks very much, Rusty is a star and an obvious character. Well narrated.

[@SolentShips]

That's very kind shipmate. Rusty is indeed a character.

[@susanwollen]

Wonderful walking tour. The mosaic tiles are lovely. Enjoyed as much as your bike tour of the city. Thank you Captain Mrs Ships & Rusty!

[@SolentShips]

Thanks shipmate. He does make some good mosaics

[@tizzyc7631]

Thank you Captain we really enjoyed the tour and can’t wait to visit. We have to talk about Rusty he is adorable and has totally stolen my heart. We are really enjoying the live feeds and your streams looking forward to the next one 👏👏👏

[@SolentShips]

That's great to hear. Maybe Rusty will be in more films soon shipmate.

[@stephensaunders9064]

Thanks for video and close up of rusty so cute

[@SolentShips]

I know who is winning most peoples affections shipmate.

[@andrewmonument8847]

That's the way to woo viewers... open the video with a cute doggy close-up !

[@SolentShips]

I had never thought of it like that shipmate. But it does work well.

[@susangrove1593]

Thanks Captain for a fascinating tour. The last time I was in Southampton was 1989 (seriously!) and I’m sure that the Bargate was in the middle of the main shopping area. It just shows how much development there has been since. Certainly Southampton looks a lovely city. The lack of old buildings shows how badly the place was damaged during the war. It was great to see Southampton from a different angle, other than that which we are used to through the webcams. As for Rusty - he’s adorable!

[@SolentShips]

You are absolutely right shipmate, the Bargate was the centre of the shopping. Since Westquay being built in the late 90's the shopping has moved further north. I'll pass the message on to Rusty.

[@steeleruk]

Stunning video Captain! I've never been to Southampton but after watching this walkabout I'm adding it to my list! Thank you so much for putting this together! 👍👍

[@SolentShips]

That's great to hear shipmate. Seems like there is some interest in more land based videos showing the local sites.

[@3Topsy]

Thank you very much for sharing this trail, I really enjoyed it and seeing dear Rusty. Such a handsome boy

[@SolentShips]

Rusty is indeed a handsome boy shipmate.

[@tinag3711]

Thank you Captain, thoroughly enjoyed your tour of the 12 ships Mosaics showing various historic buildings of the Old Town and the places I see on your cameras. Have passed through Southampton but never stayed over, having watched your video, a visit is on the bucket list.

[@SolentShips]

You are absolutely right shipmate, most of the town gets overlooked as people head straight for the cruise ships.

[@jk-tq4ef]

Just loved this video walking around the places that Matt King and I have walked, the best part was definitely the Rusty close up.

[@SolentShips]

I think Rusty is the real star shipmate

[@johnhenfrey5936]

Absolutely fabulous tour thank you.

[@SolentShips]

We'll thanks shipmate.

[@papasai1]

Thank'ee Cap'n! That was lovely.

[@SolentShips]

Glad you enjoyed it shipmate.

[@Aerosnapper]

Most interesting video - and what a great idea for a walking trail in the UK's greatest port city. Rather like the red line in Boston... Really enjoyed this..

[@SolentShips]

Thanks shipmate. It was something a little different.

[@mentonish]

Southampton has changed so much since the 1960

[@SolentShips]

You bet shipmate. Some good, some not so good.

[@AndrewBPowers]

I really enjoy your video. Thank you...

[@SolentShips]

That's great to hear shipmate.

[@sueg8144]

Great video, very cute rusty dog, thanks 😊

[@SolentShips]

I don't think Rusty needs any encouragement shipmate.

[@LydiaQ17]

Thanks for the video. I felt like I was walking around there on my own. Maybe once .... A very cute dog :)

[@SolentShips]

Indeed shipmate, lockdown has led to some very quiet streets.

[@Pooky-Cat]

Aww Rusty💕and some buildings 😉.

[@SolentShips]

I know I know, Rusty is the real star shipmate.

[@philip2010uk]

Hello captain thanks for the video very interesting. On a couple occasions when we have visited Southampton we have got the ferry across to hythe. Best done when a ship is at Queen Elizabeth terminal you get quite close to them. Bumble round to hythe Marina. And what's the ships go by. Then get the ferry back to Southampton it makes a great day out.

[@SolentShips]

Yes indeed shipmate, if you coordinate with the cruise ships and a pub lunch in Hythe, the Hythe Ferry can make a great day out. Let's hope it re-opens soon.

[@tommy3453]

Great video tour of Southampton Captain, seeing places I didn't know existed, having been many times waiting to board our cruise ship, will definetly explore a bit more next time we are down and love Rusty of course

[@SolentShips]

Thanks shipmate. I Would really recommend the walking tours that start at the Bargate. Only a £5 and really interesting.

[@steveblanchard7293]

Hey Rusty ! woof

[@SolentShips]

Woof Woof shipmate, says Rusty.

[@colinwykes1833]

Ah Captain, that was an in interesting and fascinating guided tour thankyou. It's a shame Rusty didn't sniff out the chicken or manage to get a bag of crisps maybe next time. :)

[@SolentShips]

Rusty is very good at finding spilt food shipmate. Chicken is his favourite.

[@MysticEmma43]

I have booked myself a walk the secrets of the titanic tour. Fron trip trip advisor.

[@SolentShips]

Not been on that one shipmate, sounds interesting.

[@MysticEmma43]

I was looking at what I could do while in Southampton other then ship spotting and came across it. Thought it would be interesting so I booked it.
