Codenamed ‘Legend’, HMS ‘Victory’ was the direct predecessor to Nelson’s flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar, and was the largest, most sophisticated warship in the world.

‘Victory’ was lost in the English Channel during a ferocious storm in October 1744, which took its crew of 880 sailors and 50 volunteers from the noblest families in England, and one of the greatest Admiral in British naval History, the 74 year-old Sir John Balchin into the abyss.
