<\/p>\n

Ex-industrial Hartlepool<\/a> is not\u00a0an obvious tourist destination, but the marina and associated visitor attractions (redevelopments of the 1990s) are well worth a visit.\u00a0Above, a demonstration of gun<\/a> firing.<\/p>\n

The centrepiece of the Maritime Experience is the restored HMS Trincomalee<\/a>. Launched in 1817, she is the oldest British warship still afloat.<\/p>\n
