HMS Victory is the Royal Navy's
most famous warship.
She is the world's oldest commissioned ship and a proud memorial to Vice Admiral
Lord Horatio Nelson, Britain's greatest Naval hero.
Resting in her home of No. 2 dry dock, HMS Victory is one of the most famous
warships ever built. Built between 1759-1765, Victory was a first-rate,
ship-of-the-line.
200 years ago, Vice Admiral Lord Nelson on board his flagship, HMS
Victory, led 27 British ships into battle off Cape Trafalgar against a much
larger combined French and Spanish fleet.
Thanks to Nelson's inspired leadership, the British won a great victory and the
Battle of Trafalgar has become a defining moment in our history. But Nelson paid
the ultimate price - struck by a single bullet as he paced the quarterdeck with
his captain, Thomas Hardy, he survived just long enough to learn the outcome of
the battle.
