Inhaltsangabe

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 on board Nelson&;s Victory to examine the innermost workings of this maritime icon &; from stem to stem, above and below decks.
