2023 Update: Haslar was sold in 2009 for 3mills pounds. Between 2018 & 2020 the hospital was converted into retirement flats. Per Gosport Heritage, "The development plans are to retain and enhance everything of heritage significance, heal the scars of the late 20th century and construct new buildings to complement the old ones." Sometimes are events are held to showcase the hospital & British Naval History.

Valuable lesson in British maritime history. Thanks!

[@nicovisser6204]

Zet 'm op Reijer. Zoveel mogelijk afleveringen in HD! Zijn we blij mee.

[@DogOfKrondor]

Thanks for this post. Great program. Nelson, his men and ships should be remembered for all time. to paraphrase Anon Nymous below "The ships were made of wood, the men were made of iron".

until the shrapnel start flying and started throwin teir stuffing around, then more like scarecrows in a springtime storm, inside an ocean-lurking fire-burping lead-spitting linen-winged hemp-sinewed wood-dragon that couldnt invent dogberry or pine needle tea... not even the drugs of the shamans of the mostly stone-age level globe it dominated could trip up something like that :D

[@francisfischer7620]

Tony is terrific! Really enjoy him!

[@patrickkobolt3069]

Hospital like a prison! I really enjoyed this episode.

[@Veni_Vidi_Vortice]

I've been to RHH many times and have lived to tell the tale. Parking was always a bit of a nightmare though.

[@granskare]

I visited the naval hospital in Devonport...A mate of mine was there.

[@HabarudoD]

Didn't they do this site in another episode as well? Trying to locate the hospital?

[@PaulMahon-w2b]

That was a medival hospital 😊

[@IamBlueCat666]

Sad that so many men lost there live in name of war.

[@ExUSSailor]

The age of wooden ships, and iron men.

[@lumu76]

Except they weren't iron. Many weren't even men. This would have been a cruel, brutal, and short existence. Don't romanticize it.

[@misybunzey4614]

Does anyone else see a similarity in that man talking to Phil and Prince Charles?

[@eboracum2012]

I'm afraid that thought doesn't reflect well for either of them.

[@aurktman1106]

That was my thought too! Glad to see someone else note the resemblance.

[@thegrimreaper1991]

It was limes not lemons!!! Which is why yanks call us limeys 😂

[@thomascatherineroberts440]

Is Tony sick? He seems to have a expanding abdominal girth. Maybe ascitis or cancer.

[@vouzcrow8478]

I think it was just beer. If you watch later programs such as the one he did of hiking across different trails, he had gotten back into better shape.

[@madisonelectronic]

Sailors? Probably all died from VD.

[@ndotgw]

Did you even watch this special? There is no mention of VD, just horrific battle wound for the most part.

[@RobinHood-uv6uw]

Stupid reply from madisonelectronic.

[@harbourdogNL]

Men much braver than you, who served their country.

When one assumes something, it only makes one an ASSume.
