HMS Victory was the flagship of Nelson at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805 and today lies at Portsmouth, still a commissioned vessel, where she is visited by thousands each year who marvel at her strength and beauty and her wonderful state of preservation after nearly 200 years of life. This has been achieved through the research and restoration lavished on her over the years and this book describes it all. At the core are 400 drawings which show her as she was in 1805. In addition, the author describes the life on board for the officers and crew and outlines her 200-year career. So this book is both the story of a famous ship's career as well as a technical manual on the construction and fitting and the alterations and restoration of an eighteenth-century man-of-war.
