HMS Victory was built at Chatham Dockyard in 1759-65 as a first-rate ship for the British Navy. It fought in the battles such as Ushant and Cape St. Vincent, but was most famous when it was used as Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship in the Battle of Trafalgar.
Nelson won the battle but was killed during it. The ship was placed in this dry dock in 1922 and has stayed there since. The ship is a big tourist attraction at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and is the oldest commissioned warship.
