Special Tour of Elizabeth II
Board and explore Elizabeth II. Help costumed 16th century sailors set the sails, find your latitude with an astrolabe, and swab the decks. Marvel at the rigging. Enjoy the view from the quarterdeck. Turn the capstan to raise the anchor, play checkers with a wily sailor, and search for surprises in barrels onboard. Test out the straw and feather mattresses that gentlemen aboard the ship were lucky to sleep on.
