Victory, a stunning ship















Look a this beautiful ship here. Amazing! It is docked in Portsmouth in the UK.

It was first launched on May 7th 1765

HMS Victory is the only remaining 18th century ship of the line anywhere in the world. She remains the oldest serving warship still to be in commission

HMS Victory appears today in the form in which she fought her most famous battle, the Battle of Trafalgar (21st October 1805) at which Admiral Lord Nelson was shot by a French marine from the fighting top of the Redoutable.

HAPPY 31st BIRTHDAY TO IRENE!!! She is on her honeymoon...
