H.M.S. Victory displaced over 3500 tons and measured 226 feet in length and 51 feet abeam. Her hull was sheathed in copper to guard against barnarcles. In a stiff breeze, it carried 36 sails totaling four acres of canvass. She could plough the waves at 10 knots. Fair weather or foul, the Victory was a fortress city, stocked with 35 tons of powder and 120 tons of shot. She possessed the endurance to remain at sea for up to six months at a time. Commissioned in 1778, H.M.S. Victory had almost 30 years hard service at the time of Trafalgar. She was a veteran of many hard fought naval battles. On October 12, 1805, one of the most momentous battles in European history broke out off Cape Trafalgar, Spain. The combined fleets of France and its ally, Spain led by Napoleon to invade England with his all powerful army were so frustrated and the supremacy of Britain as a sea power established in this way. Moreover, both the Victory and Lord Nelson rose to fame ever since. Honored and preserved over the years, she rests now at Portsmouth, England, a never-to-be-forgotten symbol of loyalty, courage, and devotion to duty.
