6 місяців томуThis is Epic History TV's guide to HMS Victory, one of the most famous warships in history, and flagship of Vice Admiral Nelson at his decisive victory over the Franco-Spanish Combined Fleet at Trafalgar in 1805. In this episode we look at the composition of naval crews, and how they sailed, fought and lived aboard a warship like Victory.

When I was in a spot of bother at work, I used to watch the opening battle from that film. It used to raise my morale and I would make my phone calls with confidence. Ultimately I outwitted the french spoken , yet British of course..... mort (death) gauge (grip )using my brain and my greatest ally......the truth. I've heard beautiful forests covered most of Ireland. All stolen to serve the empire. We could have been good allies. Just as we showed the vikings could be beaten.......we showed the world how the greatest empire could be cracked. Hopefully Russia is starting to Crack now thanks to the greatest value the west has, empathy. Something the British then and Russkis now, are well short of........

@alganhar1 6 місяців тому
I believe the plan is to restore her to the level that she is floating, but that she will never go to sea again. Probably understandable really. While most of a First Rates 900 or so crew were the gunner, the sailing crew was still close to 200 men. A big Fifth Rate like USS Constitution requires a sailing crew of around 50. Smaller age of sail ships require even smaller sailing crews.... So the chances of being able to find enough RN Sailors able to actually CREW HMS Victory are slim to none. Especially when we start look at the Topmen who were the most skilled of the ships sailing crew, and undertook the most dangerous job (outside of battle), dealing with the upper series of sails on the top masts....

One could definitely argue there was no single military engagement in the history of the UK that was more decisive and it's impact long lasting than Trafalgar.

Could not be better researched, compiled and presented . A superb educative journey through a brilliant period of The Royal Navy. Finally a moment of respect and tribute to the men who served , suffered and died in such ships and served the country with such distinction and honour .

When I served in the RN my usually tied up at fountain lake jetty in Pompey (Portsmouth), and I often had to walk past the Victory to collect signals from the Dockyard signals office. Always made sure I walked past the decorated stern and its windows etc. As the dock Caison had a walkway on top of it. Also whilst out jogging through did the same. Very strong sense of history walking past the ship in the dark quiet of night in winter, especially being a young (sprog) sailor. Huzzah to the immortal memory of Admiral Nelson the the crew of the Victory.

Nothing fires the imagination more than a ship that you can feel, smell and touch. I’ve had the pleasure of boarding Victory twice in my lifetime and it was just as exciting the last time (59yrs) as it was when I was around 9 or 10ths old.
