History
The H.M.S. Victory is one of the most iconic warships in British naval history. Launched in 1765, this 227-foot-long vessel carried 104 guns and a crew of 850 men at full capacity. It is best known as Admiral Horatio Nelson’s flagship during the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, where Nelson led the British fleet to victory but was fatally shot in battle. Today, H.M.S. Victory holds the distinction of being the oldest naval ship still in commission. It has been meticulously restored and is permanently displayed in drydock at Portsmouth, England, where visitors can explore its historic decks. The current H.M.S. Victory is the sixth ship of the Royal Navy to bear the name. There has also been significant interest in the fifth Victory, built 15 years earlier, whose wreckage was recently discovered by Odyssey Marine Exploration. As a symbol of British naval power, H.M.S. Victory remains a major historical attraction and a testament to the legacy of Admiral Nelson and the Royal Navy.
