Photographic Tour
HMS Victory in Portsmouth Dockyard.
HMS Victory’s masts. Victory is still a member of the English navy and theoretically could be reactivated to defend the kingdom.
Below decks on HMS Victory.
A canon on HMS Victory.
The wheel on HMS Victory. Took patience to get a picture of this guy around other visitors.
Nelson suffered a fatal wound while leading the Battle of Trafalgar from the deck of HMS Victory in 1805.
The lantern marks the spot where Nelson died in 1803 on HMS Victory’s lower decks after encouraging his army with the words, “England expects every man to do his duty.”
Mary Rose was Henry VIII’s flag ship when it sank during the Battle of the Solent in 1545. We visited on the 473rd anniversary of her sinking and observed a minute of silence in the museum.
A model of how the Mary Rose may have looked before her sinking July 19, 1545.
