HMS Caroline re-opened in March, post Covid (Royal Navy). It opened as a floating museum in 2016, in time for the centenary of the Battle Of Jutland on May 31st-June 1st, 1916. There were almost 10,000 casualties and 25 ships were sunk that day but the Caroline survived. She served as a Navy headquarters during WWII, in Belfast habour, before being returned to reserves.

These eight panels are in Tennent Street in the Shankill. There was previously a painting of HMS Caroline at the Battle Of Jutland off the Shore Road in north Belfast – see HMS Caroline.
