Today’s travel photo is of the HMS Victory in the city of Portsmouth, England. The HMS Victory is famous for being the flagship of Vice-Admiral Nelson in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 – Britain’s greatest naval victory. She had been sailing for long before that, however, and since 1765 had led the British Naval Fleet in the American War for Independence, the French Revolutionary War and the Napoleonic War. After the Battle of Trafalgar, the Victory continued its Naval service, and even after being placed into permanent dry dock in Portsmouth Harbour in 1922, she is still a part of the Naval fleet today, making the HMS Victory the oldest commissioned warship in the world.
Today, the ship is a museum and you can explore the famous decks of this grand and famous warship. If you visit Portsmouth, definitely check out the HMS Victory and other ships of the Navy Museum.
