100 GUN SHIP VICTORY ANATOMY SHIP

This volume examines the "Victory", one of the most famous ships of all time, with a fighting career spanning half a century. Although she will always be associated with Nelson's last battle, she was already 40 years old by the time of Trafalgar. "Victory"'s preservation at Portsmouth is a particularly appropriate memorial, not only to the fighting qualities of Nelson's navy, but also to the skills of its naval architects and shipwrights.
