Description
Description
The British ship of the line HMS Victory is known for participating in 1805 in the Battle of Trafalgar as flagship of Admiral Horatio Nelson against the Spanish Armada. At that time, it was the largest ship in the British Royal Navy. Currently, it is in a dry dock in the port of Portsmouth (Hampshire) in southern England as a museum piece. The English ship HMS Victory remains the flagship of the Second Sea Lord. It is even more important because it is the only ship of the line that has survived to this day in conditions faithful to the originals.
HMS Victory was launched in 1765. The rest of the works such as the rigging, the sails and the armament, among others, were progressively completed until in 1778 the British ship of the line could be in active service.
Two years after being assigned to command HMS Victory, Nelson participated in the Battle of Trafalgar, the most decisive of the Napoleonic Wars, as it was the one that put an end to the French and Spanish navies, thus offering the United Kingdom a maritime supremacy that would last until the Second World War. However, Nelson did not have the opportunity to learn of his victory, as he died during the battle in the course of a close combat with the Redoutable, a large French ship with 74 guns. From the tops of the Redoutable a marksman then reached Nelson.
