250 years of HMS Victory

Just how much do you know about one of Britain's most famous ships, HMS Victory?

She was launched 250 years ago and most famously saw action as Nelson's flagship during the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

Since the 1920s she has been preserved as a museum of the Georgian Navy in dry dock in Portmouth's Historic Dockyard.
