    Royal Marines Museum

    The Royal Marines Museum is housed in a stately Officer's Mess which was built in the 1860's. The history of the Royal Marines dates to 1664 when the first Marine Regiment was created. On your tour you'll see one of the largest medal collections in the world, the Mountbatten Room an opulent dining hall seemingly funded by the slip of an officer's pen and the Eastney Fort East, a Victorian coastal artillery fort. You'll also discover more about the marines in action in the World Wars, Falklands, Afghanistan, Iraq and how one determined woman, Hannah Snell deceived them all and obtained her wish to serve as a marine in an age when women had no part in the armed forces.
