In honor of the 250th anniversary of the launching of HMS Victory, here is a rolling broadside, fired by none other than HMS Victory. The ship is beginning a £50million restoration project in an attempt to preserve Nelson’s flagship for future generations. For an excellent look at the ship’s history check out Julian Stockwin’s VICTORY TURNS 250 in the May/June issue of Quarterdeck by McBooks Press.
And she doesn’t look a day over 225. To ‘Victory’!
