HMS Victory – History of the Ship

HMS Victory was launched in 1765 at the Chatham Dockyard and served in the Royal Navy during numerous naval conflicts. The ship achieved its greatest fame at the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805, when it served as the flagship of Admiral Horatio Nelson. The British fleet defeated the combined French and Spanish forces, but Nelson was mortally wounded during the battle.

The ship was a first-rate vessel armed with 104 guns arranged across three gun decks. Its distinctive black-and-yellow hull stripes, numerous cannons and richly decorated stern became instantly recognisable features of its appearance. HMS Victory has survived to the present day and is preserved in Portsmouth as a museum ship.
