HMS Victory at Trafalgar in 1805 - only 62% of the crew were English don't you know! #HMSVictory #NavalHistory

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 – at Portsmouth, England

“...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!
