HMS Victory
HMS Victory is one of Britain’s most celebrated warships. More than 2000 oak trees were used in construction of the great hull from which this bronzed stoneware sculpture is modelled. Built in 1759 at Chatham Dockyard and launched in 1765, HMS Victory was sailed by Lord Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar on 21st October 1805. Since 1823, it has been a permanent fixture of Portsmouth on the south coast.
