HMS Victory




The most famous ship in the history of the Royal Navy, HMS Victory was Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson’s flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Victory was a First Rate, the most powerful type of ship of her day with three guns decks mounting 100 guns. Today she is docked at Portsmouth and as flagship of the Second Sea Lord and Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command is the oldest warship in the world.

This lovely plastic embossed card was sent to me by my friend Ella.
