When she was launched in 1765, HMS Victory was the ultimate warship of the Georgian era. As Admiral Lord Nelson`s flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, she has since become inextricably linked to the memory of Britain`s greatest naval hero. The Victory was built in the 18th century, with an expected life span of less than two decades, so the fact that she survives today - over 250 years later - is remarkable. Published with the cooperation of the Royal Navy this book takes readers onboard Nelson`s Victory to examine the innermost workings of this maritime icon - from stem to stem, above and below decks.
