Plenty to find online if you google the name on the ship so not going to bother writing up a load of stuff go have a nice google search :D Managed to get on board over the fence and past security though ;) lol! Here's some shots

History of the Royal Navy Diving & Animal Testing Facility The Ministry of Defence is considering abandoning deep-diving experiments which induce agonising decompression sickness in live goats after complaints from animal rights groups. Live testing was suspended in March 2007 and a review...

Hello all, I am from Malta and love to explore underground. This time I went in an underground complex of tunnels under a british Hospital that lately was used as a mushroom factory. Hope you enjoy as I do seeing many other posts here Here is my video. Any wish to add some advice will be...

Went down to Cornwall this summer not far from my old uni haunts to check out some derps. Great bits of history amongst an impressive coastal landscape. So here we've got a kind of 2-for-1, a surf n turf so to speak. Both a WW2 Royal Navy refuelling depot, and a Victorian Palmerston fort...

The Royal Naval Cordite Factory (RNCF) was built between Poole and Wareham during the First World War to make Cordite, which is classed as a propellant, not an explosive. In 1914 Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty, decided that the Royal Navy needed its own plant to produce high...

This was actually a spontaneous find after planning a road trip to Portsmouth and Gosport and all of our good locations being unsuccessful, we didn’t want it to be a waste so luckily we found this and a couple of others. History- This place was used to use goats for testing and experiments...

History: Apart from KentOnline has to offer, there is little else online regarding the history of this vessel, but here is what I managed to string together... "The Hillside", constructed in 1970 and originally built as an accommodation barge for the Dutch Navy, has just under 70 rooms and was...

For anyone that has been to any island in The Bahamas, or knows the islands, will have the image of long sandy beaches and turquoise seas when ever they are mentioned. So it's a bit odd to be posting a wreck of a building that we found whilst searching for a new beach on the Island of Eleuthera...

Only my second report, but thought I'd do a couple reports of recent explores and do one on this place whilst I'm at it because this was definitely one of my favourite explores, possibly the best of 2018 for me. Visited with @Chloe Explores . HISTORY: HMS Ganges, also known as Shotley Training...

Visited twice. First time was a spur of the moment midweek jaunt at 3.30am, then I returned with @Grom with our waders so we could tackle the pump room. Some brief history: During the 1930’s a vast underground storage facility was dug deep in to Portsdown Hill overlooking Portsmouth, capable...

I know this has been done to death and it's also a complete s*** hole now but I only get 1 day a week off work and as I'm on call I cannot stray too far so sorry, you are going to have to put up with this one until I take some holiday! I won't write out the history as this is such a frequently...

A huge navy base in the town of Pula, northern Croatia, abandoned at the time of the breakup of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. This is a huge site with hundreds of derelict buildings to explore. Fortunately it was possible to drive a car onto the site and explore by motor. I only really...

I have already reported on the morgue at the Royal Navy Hospital Mtarfa, which was a very small affair consisting of just one slab and a fridge capable of holding only 2-3 bodies. Anyways here is the isolation unit which is separate from the hospital for obvious reasons and located near to the...

A bit of history, shamelessly stolen from Wikipedia. HMS Ganges was a training ship and later stone frigate of the Royal Navy. She was established as a boys' training establishment in 1865, and was based aboard a number of hulks before moving ashore. She was based alternately in Falmouth...
