H.M.S. Victory: Building, Restoration and Repair
A Definitive Study of Britain’s Most Famous Warship

Step aboard one of history’s most iconic naval vessels with H.M.S. Victory: Building, Restoration and Repair—an authoritative and richly detailed account of the construction, evolution, and meticulous preservation of Admiral Nelson’s flagship.

This work traces the story of H.M.S. Victory from her launch in 1765 through her legendary role at the Battle of Trafalgar, and into her modern life as a historic monument. Packed with shipbuilding blueprints, archival photographs, and expert commentary, the book delves into:

  • The ship’s original construction methods and materials

  • Modifications made over more than two centuries

  • The challenges of maintaining a wooden warship in the modern era

  • Insights into naval architecture, rigging, and craftsmanship of the Age of Sail

Combining historical scholarship with hands-on technical detail, this volume is an essential resource for naval historians, ship modelers, conservationists, and anyone captivated by maritime heritage.

A must-have companion for visitors to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard—and a lasting tribute to one of Britain’s greatest maritime achievements.
