This 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........

If you ever go to Portsmouth definitely visit the ship! The Tudor Mary Rose is also on display with a fantastic collection of artefacts. Seeing where Nelson was first shot & then died is a really strange & moving experience: you try to imagine being there at the time, with the terrible noise of battle, the smoke, the injured & dead. Standing on the deck in the sunshine, hundreds of years later, is surreal.

@alganhar1 6 месяцев назад

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.

Thank you Epic History TV for presenting and sharing this very important, historic, educational documentary on HMS Victory. I found this very interesting and it has extended my limited knowledge of this famous warship. I am so grateful and would like to thank you and all those skilled professional men and women who are currently involved with her repair and preservation for our future generations and world enthusiasts who will want to come and see our cherished British ship and appreciate how our country appreciates, preserves and looks after it's past history. God Bless her.
