Portsmouth Historic Dockyard
We learned that HMS
Victory (1759) is docked at Portsmouth, so before heading back to the Isle of
Wight by ferry, we managed a short visit to the oldest dry dock in the world
and of course the ship housed in it, the Victory – Admiral Lord Nelson’s
flagship. The Victory has been
beautifully restored although there’s still plenty more work to be done. “A little big for us,” said the Cap’n
glancing at acres of brass and caulked timbers, not to mention the odd cannon
or two.
