HMS Victory (1)

IMPECCABLE ..Tous les symboles de la victoire sont visibles.
Bonne et agréable fin de semaine.

Thank you very much Malik.
Wishing you a good weekend.

Lovely shot of this iconic ship, Rosa.

Did you know the canvas for the HMS Victory’s fore-topsail was supplied to the Admiralty by Baxter Brothers of Dundee?

Cheers,

Joe

I am very happy with your kind comment Joe.

I didn't know that but I am pleased that I do now. It is always a pleasure to learn more, and I have just looked up their history, so thank you also for the information Joe.

Cheers, Rosa.

You can see a photo of the bloke who told me this, right here, Rosa. Cheers, Joe

A great view of this historic ship. I am fascinated by the information Joe gives about the topsail. It is the original topsail too.

Thank you Jean. Yes good information from Joe. That is what I like on this site; we learn so much from a picture.

Beautiful series of captures of this glorious historic ship, Rosa !
I enojoyed each of them so much !
Have a lovely Sunday.

Thank you very much Bea. I enjoyed the visit so much more than I had expected to, and look forward to going to the dockyard again. There was still a lot so see, but time ran out!
I wish you a good Sunday too. Rosa.

Très belle image !********
Bon WE Rosalyn.

Merci beaucoup Jocelyne.
Bon weekend.

A wonderful perspective on this iconic ship Rosa. I like the cannon and the statue in the foreground as well. Beautifully detailed and sharp! Great work!

I believe the rest of the masts and all the rigging are being restored etc at the moment, but I have no idea how long it's going to take before it's all complete again.

I am happy that you like this perspective Keith. As you can imagine, I took it from every angle possible and in my humble opinion this seemed the best. It would have been nice to have a blue sky, but can't have everything. At least it was dry. I think the skittle team, including me, spent too long having lunch :-)

HMS Victory is the Royal Navy's most famous warship.
Some years ago I enjoyed to be on Nelson’s famous flagship from the Battle of Trafalgar...

That is interesting Pat. I visited it about 30 years ago, when we were escorted around it by a sailor. Now it is possible to view the whole ship.

Superbe photo. Nicole.

Thank you Nicole.

Superb capture with a wonderful foreground Rosa,

Thank you Roger.
Have a nice sunny Sunday.

Beautiful ship, so well captured.
Interesting series Rosa.

Thank you Jaap. It was an enjoyable day.

Seems to be a very interesting place to visit, Rosalyn ...

It was very interesting Christiane. I want to go back again.

Merci :-))

That museum must be really fascinating. A very well composed image.

It was George. A good job the ticket is valid for a year, as I don't think we even saw half of it.

Perfectly framed image of this glorious historic ship, Rosa!

Thank you very much Adele.

Beautifully composed Rosa. It must be a fascinating place to visit. Have a lovely evening
