A LITTLE HISTORY OF THE BRITISH SHIP OF THE LINE HMS VICTORY
The British ship of the line HMS Victory is best known for taking part in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 as Admiral Horatio Nelson's flagship against the French-Spanish Armada. At the time, it was the largest ship in the British Royal Navy. Today, it lies in a dry dock in Portsmouth harbour (Hampshire) in the south of England as a museum piece. The English ship HMS Victory remains the flagship of the Second Sea Lord. It is all the more important because it is the only ship of the line that has survived to this day in true to original condition.

HMS Victory was launched in 1765. The rest of the work, such as the rigging, sails and weapons, among others, was progressively completed until the British ship of the line was ready for active service in 1778.

Two years after being assigned to command HMS Victory, Nelson took part in the Battle of Trafalgar, the most decisive of the Napoleonic Wars, as it was the battle 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 chance to learn of his victory, as he was killed during the battle in close combat with the Redoutable, a large 74-gun French ship. Nelson was hit by a marksman from the gunwales of the Redoutable.
