H. M. S. Victory

The H. M. S. Victory has been in permanent dry dock in Portsmouth since 1929. Victory survived the bombings of World War II, a nearby building was hit and the ship suffered minimal damage.

Admiral Horatio Nelson's private quarters aboard his flagship. The Admiral's quarters, located in the stern of the ship are surprisingly spacious. In the foreground is the dining table where formal dinner parties were held.
