Thanks from America for posting this video. What a beautiful ship with incredible firepower. Imagine all the ammunition that would have been stored on a ship with so many guns.
Admirable work those old ships. And everything made without electricity or Stamped metal parts etc. The HMS Victory isn't just a ship, its a piece of art. greatings from germany
Martin, lovely video, I have done the tour myself but you have captured the ship in supern quality. The wind on the microphone adds to the quality of the video. Clearly a nice day out for the family, I'd like to 'link' this to my Facebook profile in a couple of weeks time, if that is okay with you. I have just posted a Battle of Britain sequence of vids, and my next is 'Trafalgar Day'. Thank you and your family for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your comments Bullettube. I couldn't agree more with you. Although there are times when we feel we're dragging hiim from pillar to post - it's amazing just how much he remembers.
Its not a boat it is a "ship!" I visited this magnificent ""Ship" twice when I was a child. Will definately return to visit again................HORRAY FOR ADMIRAL LORD NELSON.
HMS Victory. One of the biggest first rates of the day and saw desperate combat at trafalgar. Lord nelson was killed in his finest hour on her decks. he's sent the famous message using flags in the rigging, "England expects every man to his duty", as they sailed towards the combined French and Spanish fleets, massively outnumbered. Makes me proud to be British.
there was another HMS Victory the predecessor to Lord Nelson's Victory which sank during a storm in 1744, taking more than 1,000 sailors to their deaths. The ship was carrying four tonnes of gold.
this ship needs to be under cover and out of the elements history like this needs to be preserved and this is a beautiful ship and would hate to see this sit there and rot
It's really easy: fly to London, train from Waterloo to Portsmouth Harbour on a cheap day return, edxit the station, turn left & there's Warrior, & as you approach the gates you can see Victory's tops above the dockyard walls. You're young. Why wait?
@malevolenceXXXensues I agree. Victory was one beautiful, tough girl. She took a serious beating at Trafalgar and survived the equally nasty trip back to England. I'm sorry Lord Nelson fell during the battle, but I also think there's honor in the fact that the great admiral went out in a blaze of glory like a true warrior.
Martin, Tried to watch your video, its nice that you engaged your son so nicely. But, I was really hoping for a tour of the ship rather than a "Kodak Moment" with the family, if you get my drift. Thanks.
last time she touched water was 1922, since then the main topgallant sail disappeared during WWII and only the fore topgallant sail survives today, also the deck planks on the lowwer gun deck are original 1765 planks............
Correction H.M.S stands for His/Her . Majesty's . Ship in the case of Victory it would stand for His . Majesty's . Ship: Victory as king George the III was King in 1765, if the vessel were still in active service it would be Her . Majesty's . Ship victory as it would be in SERVICE of her majesty the queen. Victory is still in honorary commission to 2SL/CNH Charles Montgomery of the Royal Navy.
I Went Here On A School Trip. (We Also Went On the Warrior). It's SOO Interesting... (And I Can't Stand History -- Must Show Something:P) But I Have An Essay Due And It's Shockingly Difficult:(
I wish i never asked but the only thing original about this ship is the lower deck! Everything else has been repalced or used from other ships. The canons are all plastic. This is because the ship is in dry dock. If they were real the ship would implode.
Firstly, please read your comment again, after "pimped politicians" it starts to get very muddled and random. Secondly, what your implying is a global conspiracy which tends to not lend credibility to what you post.

Nice vid. I went to see Victory about 30 years ago when i was just a little kid. Always keep meaning to go back.......
Beautiful ship, and an amazing piece of history.

I'm a Royal Canadian Sea Cadet and have achieved the rank of Leading Seaman. I am coming to visit the vctory along with the HMS Belfast in April 2011
Wow! Beautiful ship. Hard to believe, but In her day there wasn't a more destructive weapon in the world.

Why can't she be a sailing museum, it would rock.

Interesting. They must have changed the "no photography" policy, since I heard an SLR shutter go when you were in Nelson's dining area.
amazing
would be so awesome if they put some money together to get it sea worthy again and start doing tours around portsmouth with it :)
has this thing ever been taken out to sea yet in this year

God forbid I ever have a son, this is one of the first places I am taking him.

She was damaged during WW2 and the Germans said they blew it up while the English were trying to move it, but it is the real HMS Victory
is that the real victory from the war
The days of ships of wood, and men of iron.
OK i'm an idiot but is this the real thing or a replica?
sounds like it was a windy day
Which they ain't called cannons at sea, but guns!
Its the original, well 20% original, although there had been 2 major refits before Nelson died on it. So since Nelson was on it its only had 1 refit.
@MartyMcfly4890 It is the real HMS victory, not a replica :)

the hms victory is reel because it wasn't sunken already
ive been there.
H.M.S. doesn't indicate if it's a ship or boat, H.M.S. stands for His/Her Majesty's Service
Its not a boat, Martin
Theres a simple difference; a ship can carry a boat, but a boat cant carry a ship
its a bit windy
Boat boat it's a SHIP!!!!!!
this is a SHIP not a BOAT
LOL 2:37 ''Im a cannon dick
I wish i never asked but the only thing original about this ship is the lower deck! Everything else has been repalced or used from other ships. The canons are all plastic. This is because the ship is in dry dock. If they were real the ship would implode.
no shit sherlock :P
LOL.. its real
