Windows on HMS Victory

Great series Rosa, Love the shapes and shadows. Wonder which poor Jack Tar had the job of cleaning the outside of the glass.

Yes, I wonder Doug :) I loved all the outward leaning windows, but would neber want the job of cleaning them! I am pleased you like the series, thank you.
Best wishes, Rosa.

Beautiful interior shots Rosa...............perfectly exposed. It really is an amazing ship - I visited it many times whilst I was serving (the WO and Senior Rates bar was onboard), so this brings back some good memories.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much Keith. Yes it is amazing. I am 5ft 3½ins and I had to stoop in the lower deck! That was handy, having a bar on board then ;-) I have a picture of a nearby pub that you may well know....I'll upload it later in the week.

Thanks for your kind comments and I am always pleased to bring back happy memories.

Beautiful series Rosa.

Thank you Jaap.

Fine ship

It certainly is Nick.

Excellent interior shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*******

Thank you Nouchet.

Excellent shots Rosa.
I never got to go aboard !

Thank you Jeff. You would love it on board!

Superbe intérieur d'un passé glorieux *******
Bonne semaine.

Thank you Malik. A place of great, but thankfully, long past history.
Wishing you a good week too.

A real bright office !

It is with all those windows Christiane ;-)

I suppose the angle of the windows had to fit into the shape of the vessel and possibly more storm resistant, a far cry from the conditions endured by the crew

None of the portholes that came much later Peter. More like house windows!
I certainly wouldn't have wanted to be one of the crew!

Lovely series beautifully photographed. Quite a domestic interior in spite of the outward leaning windows. Probably a much better workplace than most of the crew had.

Yes the windows were a big feature of the ship, not unlike house windows! The lower down you go the worse the conditions were Jean. Very cramped on the lowest deck.

Hi Rosa,

A different and beautiful series here!
The angle of windows show what a different ship it is...
I like it very much !!

Best wishes

Hi Füsun,

So different to the ships we see nowadays!
I enjoyed looking around it very much, so I am pleased you like the series.
Thank you for your kind comments.
Best wishes,
Rosa.

fantastic craftsmanship Rosalyn, I wander if this warship was so lavish when it set sail for Trafalgar in 1805.

Yes wonderful craftsmanship Maurice. The kitchen, or I should say, galley, was very small considering the size of the crew!

Three great shots, Rosa, love the lighting... Well done.

Thank you for your kind compliment John.
Regards, Rosa.

Great place to be there Rosa... What a nice windows!

Greetz, Christien.

Thank you Christien.
It was a great day out.

Greetz, Rosa.

Ce sont des fenêtres de qualité pour une belle vue !

Thank you Danielle

Excelent POVs on these takes, Rosa

Thank you Isabel.

An interesting testimony and a beautiful light in interior very well captured.
All the best
Fabio

Thank you very much Fabio.
All the best,
Rosa.

bel intérieur et lumière*************

One of the better areas of the ship Valeriane :)

Great interior images, Nelson certainly had a good office!

He certainly had the best the ship had to offer George.

Beautiful interior images with fine light, Rosa...Nelson's office! What a piece of history this ship is!

Thank you so much for your kind comments. I love history and it is now possible to look over the whole ship, whereas when I visited over 30 years ago, it was limited and we were shown around by a member of the Royal Navy.

Its almost beyond believe that the captains or in this case the Admirals cabin was so luxurious and spacious compared with the men sleeping near the bilges in these ships of the line. Altogether different, when joined in battle though. I have in fact been in here too but your photos are better! Well done. Herb

The lives of the ordinary seaman were, as you mention, pretty dire! Poor peoples lives were cheap in those days Herb. Many thanks for your interesting and kind comments. Cheers, Rosa.
