History

1st rate wooden ship. Construction of HMS Victory was completed in 1765, and, famously, she was Nelson’s flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. She has been in harbour service since 1824, permanently dry-docked in Portsmouth. She now functions as both a museum ship and an official flagship. Naval personnel in the Portsmouth area can also be carried on Victory’s book for administrative purposes.
