Summary

[edit]
Description The superb model of "HMS Victory", 2,142 tons, at Chatham Historic Dockyard, 17 February 2020. The model was used in the 1930's Alexander Korda film "That Lady Hamilton Woman". "HMS Victory", designed by Thomas Slade, Surveyor of the Navy, was built as a 100 gun First Rate Line-of-Battle Ship and was launched in 1765 armed with 30 x 42 pdrs (later replaced by 32 pdrs) on the Lower Gun Deck, 28 x 24 pdrs on the Middle Gun Deck, 30 x 12 pdrs on the Upper Gun Deck, 10 x 6pdrs on the Quarterdeck and 2 x 6 pdrs on the Forecastle; the 6 pdrs were later replaced by 12 pdrs and some again by 32 pdr carronades. Arguably the finest First Rate of its era.
