Actually The Royal Navy Museum at West Hartlepool is very popular and well worth the visit..albeit given the present viral circumstances.
The old frigate HMS Trincomalee, Britain's oldest warship afloat is there as are several other vessels and the whole dock area is surrounded by authentic shops, sounds and smells from Nelson's time.
After the war, in that dock area, West Hartlepool hosted a lot of the mothball fleet, frigates, corvettes, including Castle class, Loch and River class etc most with sterling war service, before they were taken away one by one in the 60's for scrapping
