Historical Background

Few warships in history carry the weight of legend quite like HMS Victory. Still officially in commission today, she holds the extraordinary distinction of being the oldest naval ship in the world still on the active list.

Designed by Sir Thomas Slade, she was built at Chatham Dockyard using more than 2,000 oak trees, launched on 7 May 1765. She served for decades before becoming linked with her most famous commander in 1803, when she was selected as the flagship of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson.

On 21 October 1805, off Cape Trafalgar, it was from Victory's deck that Nelson raised his now-immortal signal: "England expects that every man will do his duty." The battle ended in total British victory — not a single ship lost — though Nelson himself was fatally wounded on Victory's quarterdeck.

Today, HMS Victory remains a commissioned ship of the Royal Navy, permanently preserved in dry dock at Portsmouth, welcoming visitors to walk the same decks Nelson once commanded.
