Here’s a brain blast -
This 99 year old footage shows HMS Victory when she was already 160 years old. Wild!
Shout out to those Divers who installed those steel supports, all while underwater 🫧
Victory was my birthday treat for years coming over from the Isle of Wight for the day ,I even led an impromptu tour a few years ago explaining some things to a young nipper ,when I looked up I had about a dozen other people listening in ,one exclaimed “yeah but this is just a mock up init “after I told him no he looked at everything differently from then on .
When the guide says the Orlop Deck is original from Trafalgar - and everyone bends down to touch it! :-)
Admirable reel film of HMS Victory 🙌👏👏
😂
Wow, just like today. Lots of supervisors but very few actual workers!
Is that HMS Hood in the background? Or one of the Renown class?
Answer... HMS Repulse...!
@RNS Also the Renouns had very distinctive fighting tops.
British naval engineering at its finest
We will roll the old charriot along. 💪💪💪
I assumed the Victory was always valued as a piece of history and was surprised to find she was very nearly lost to neglect.
Looks like HMS Hood in the background.
On second thoughts its Repulse or Renown.
Did she sink or something why they floating her?
Victory was permanently dry docked in 1922 as she was too badly rotted to continue floating (as she had done through the past century as Portsmouth's flagship) She was kept in a state of reserve known as "ordinary" periodically refloated within the dock to prevent her drying out. By the 1950s this practice was no longer continued and has led to her slowly crushing herself under her own displacement.
They needed to get her up so they could get the keel support in
@@1bert719 Which is being remedied, if you followed the news about her.
@@harbourdogNL Yes, the adjustable supports were being fitted during my last visit. I expect there complete by now. She was collapsing rather badly toward the bow. Can't let the old girl down now.
@@1bert719 HMS Victory is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life.
I hate half missed videos.
