The magical thing about the hovercraft is that it is capable of time travel!
Board in Portsmouth in 2024, and arrives in the IOW in 1984!

So lovely to see an American taking the time to visit the south coast instead of London or Yorkshire. This country has so much more to offer 😊

Joel you did Portsmouth proud. You're definitely an honorary Brit. I'm looking forward to your next adventure.

My grandfather spent his last days of his 35 year Royal Naval career as a guide on HMS Victory. He took great pleasure in my grandmother's annoyance as he insisted in reciting for the umpteenth time, his script to me as an enraptured toddler. Love the way you pack your days

Joel has truly mastered the art of getting the right British meal deal. It’s an art.

You did a great job showing off Portsmouth (my home). I have spent many a time watching the hovercraft coming back and forth and at 63 I still find it amazing. Glad you enjoyed travelling on it.

Joel, you really are a remarkable guy. It is no wonder you found Victory a bit cramped. I think you said in a previous presentation that you are six feet two inches tall. I am taller than both my parents were. I peaked at five feet eight and a half inches but I am now down to five feet six and a half inches. I am now seventy two years old and on the way back down.
What I love about your work is that you are always so respectful. If you ever stop posting videos it will leave a big hole in my life. You are the best. Thank you!

Suggest this video forms part of the British Citizenship Test Materials as it covers key information:
• Sainsbury's
• The Royal Navy
• Great British Inventions (hovercraft)
• Back ache
• Wetherspoons & day drinking
• Tesco Red Wine

Oh Joel has mastered the art of chugging a pint of beer successfully! He will be able to show off back home now. Cheers

Hey Joel. Portsmouth's my favourite city for military history, the people are great, the beer is great, prices are good, never had bad customer service and they don't skimp on food portions! Can't wait to get back there!

Did you miss visiting the Mary Rose - in a building a couple of hundred yards from HMS Victory? It was a King Henry VIII warship ship and sank in 1545, raised in 1982. Also, HMS Warrior that was shown in you video. Built 95 years after HMS Victory with an iron hull and with an engine (plus mast and sails) insides the gun (cannon) decks and living conditions were very much like HMS Victory.

Yes I laughed when you went straight for the Spoons! You're on an island five minutes and you're after a Spoons! You're so British.... 😁👍

It’s a region tourists generally overlook, but for centuries the London to Portsmouth road was probably the most important road in the country, and very well travelled. Although it was 'replaced' by the A3 in the seventies, the road - sometimes referred to as 'the old Portsmouth Rd' is still intact and still in daily use.
Although London was a major port, it took a lot of extra sailing to reach. Portsmouth was far quicker as it cut sailing distance, and the road between the coast and London was relatively short.
As a result, towns developed quicker along the route and facilities like Coach Houses and Inns were built. And since everybody travelled along these routes, the accommodations were used by kings and queens and other 'VIPs', while the courtyards were often where people of 'lower standing' might be held for the night. There are pub/hotels along the way that still have rings set into the courtyards that prisoners being transported to Australia were chained over night. Some of these places keep antiques and documents in the building, everything from handcuffs and transportation documents, to records of food and drink served to royals. The biggest town along the way is probably Guildford in Surrey, which still has its coach house and many other historic buildings, including a Norman castle.
Many of the buildings are fully intact, while others have had their fronts replaced to 'modernize' them, mostly in the Georgian era. These sorts of renovations were done in many cities in England, but if you go upstairs in many of these buildings, which now are regular stores, you will find that the floors are sloping and sagging, and the walls are often lathe and plaster. Medieval buildings with a new front to make them appear modern. The Georgians had no concept of preservation orders.

Portsmouth is a really cool city: it’s the only one in the UK to be almost entirely on an island (Portsea Island) and is also the most densely populated place in the country outside of London.

Throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s, much larger hovercraft than you were on (passengers + cars) ran regular services between England and France, in just 30 minutes.
The Dover to Calais route continued until 2000, but ultimately they were too costly to run and ceased operation.

Kind of crazy to see you around the corner from me. Thanks for covering this. I don't see much on YouTube around these amazing old ships.
