Last week we made a post with the headline, HMS Victory ‘Collapsing’ Under Her Own Weight.  The headline was alarmist at best.  (We borrowed it from the BBC, but that is no excuse.)  The historic ship will, of course, not be allowed to collapse under its own weight.  David Hayes of the Historic Naval Fiction blog was kind enough to pass along this very interesting video about the engineering behind the 136 metal supports being installed to support, or as the video refers to it , “re-support,” HMS Victory to control the bulging and racking of the hull.
