This modern battleship, dating back to c1900 and shrouded in mystery as its creator remains unknown, has witnessed countless significant events throughout its existence. From the exhilarating Naval Manoeuvres that tested the ship's strength and agility to the Decisive Battle off the Lizard depicted in a captivating lithograph, HMS Jupiter proved its mettle time and again. It even had the honor of hosting distinguished guests like King and Queen of Italy during their visit to Sardinia for a spectacular Naval Review in Aranci Bay. But it wasn't just dignitaries who experienced the allure of this majestic vessel. School children eagerly explored every nook and cranny while visiting HMS Jupiter at her adopted home port.

Mayor Councillor Eddie Bolland marked her final visit by honoring her significance in Middlesbrough's history. Amidst all these remarkable tales lies another side—the human aspect—where five crew members eagerly anticipate shore leave in their beloved home port. Their camaraderie is evident as they look forward to reuniting with loved ones after months spent protecting our shores.
