The HMS Monitor M33 in dry dock in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, Hampshire, UK.

---

"This ship is one of only two British First World War warships to survive both the war and the ravages of time. She is a monitor or coastal bombardment vessel. Her shallow draught allowed her to steam, or to be towed, close in to the enemy coast where her 6 inch guns could then be brought to bear on the target. She is now berthed just to the side and astern of Nelson's flagship HMS Victory in the Portsmouth Naval Dockyard."
