The wife and I did a walkthrough of HMS Victory a month ago, Jerry, and it was fascinating. The folks they have stationed aboard are very engaging and provide as much information as you want to take in.
100s of Brown Bess rifles aboard to repel borders and fire at the enemy.
As an engineer, the walkthrough of HMS Warrior was more interesting to me, however. Looks like the same guy made a video of her as well.
The engineering spaces are around the 20 minute mark. I got the feeling the steam-punk genre was created after someone toured the Warrior.

Since there is so much interest, Jerry, here is one the same guy did of the Mary Rose museum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6mhp_jZyRM
The entrance into the gallery where the remains of the ship are preserved is extremely well done. The vessel looms up at you like the ghost ship she is.
An interesting factoid. When she sank in 1545, she was armed with breach loading cannon on the upper deck(s). They were basically punt guns, as they fired iron cubes rather than solid shot, but I would never had thought that breach loading technology was in use 500 years ago.0 -
