So, how long did Nelson command his ships for? #hmsvictory #navalhistory

[The Trafalgar Times @TrafTimes]

So, how quickly did Nelson progress through the ranks, I hear you ask... #navalhistory #hmsvictory

[Andrew Venn @_AndrewVenn]

Victory’s new look for the foreseeable future. She remains open to the public throughout the essential works, providing an excellent view of the work going on to preserve the ship for generations to come.

This week we're excited to open a new photographic exhibition in partnership with @NatHistShips. The exhibition, entitled ‘Back to the Water,’ showcases a fascinating range of heritage vessels captured by amateur photographers around the UK.

Was great to be back on board HMS Victory yesterday evening for the first time in a while. The scaffolding work is progressing well, and will soon cover most of the ship for a number of years to allow crucial work on her outer planking. #hmsvictory #navalhistory #conservation

[The Mary Rose @MaryRoseMuseum]

“...most significant maritime discovery since the Mary Rose”

Nice to see that, 40 years later, we're still the standard by which all underwater archaeological discoveries are judged!

The scaffolding for the great repair has started...
