This is the story of Britain's most illustrious warship,
immortalised as Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship in the Battle
of Trafalgar. Constructed from the wood of over 6,000 trees,
HMS Victory was designed as a `first rate ship', the
Admiralty's designation for its largest ships f the line
which packed a formidable punch with over 100 guns arranged
on three decks. In addition to the Battle of Trafalgar HMS
Victory saw action in the First and Second Battles of Ushant
and during the Battle of Cape St Vincent. After bringing
Nelson's body back to England, the Victory sailed out on a
number of expeditions until her retirement in 1812.
