There is a fake ship in Portmont, not the Nelson ship itself, made in 1916 for the Museum.

"From January 12, 1922 to the present, in the city of Portsmouth in the Maritime Historical Museum there is an exact copy of the famous battleship personifying the age-old glory and victory of Britain in the Battle of Trafalgar, in which Russian sailors also took part.

And here is the repost of the photo report, from which it is clearly seen that this is a completely new ship.
Original taken from book_bukv in the History of "Victoria" will still be!

In the process of clarifying some information on the history of the ship, it turned out.

That the longevity of the Victoria is still an exceptional case, even by the standards of the English fleet.
That the history of the ship is not very simple and not as straightforward as tourists are told.
That it is even more interesting than it seemed before.
And that it is very difficult to find it on the net, without inventions and inventions.

Therefore - a brief history of "Victoria" in my presentation.
Sources will be mentioned separately.

Part one. Project and construction

The history of the ship began in February 1756, when engineer inspector Thomas Slade,
was appointed Chief Builder of the new first-class battleship.
According to the terms of reference of the Admiralty, the Royal George was supposed to serve as a prototype -
then the only hundred-gun battleship in the British Navy.

Slade was to begin building the ship by logging timber, which would last several years.
had to dry and ripen for work. But the Admiralty was in a hurry - the Seven Years' War began,
ships were needed. Then the builder found a warehouse of ten-year-old ship wood
and there were no compromises. There are opinions that due to the construction of a ship from a very old
and seasoned material he lived so long.

In 1757, the Admiralty was again headed by Lord George Anson - a very energetic but efficient leader.
and the assault on the shipyards stopped. In addition, while Slade was looking for wood and producing blueprints,
England severely defeated France at sea. Apparently, this is why Victoria was built slowly
and this is the second reason for her longevity.

July 23, 1759 on one of the stocks of Chatham - the main naval arsenal and shipyard of England -
the laying ceremony took place. Since the year was very fruitful for victories, the ship was given the name "Victory",
despite the fact that it has already become the fifth "Victory" of the British Navy, and the fact that
that the fourth "Victory" - a 110-gun ship of the first rank built in 1737, died during a storm
in 1744, as usual with the whole crew.

In those harsh war years, the shipyards of England were mainly engaged in the repair of ships,
damaged in battles and campaigns, and the construction was slow. Therefore, in the spring of 1763,
when the Seven Years' War ended with the victory of England, "Victory" was
keel with ribs of frames, barely connected to each other.

But after the war, work began to boil - already on May 7, 1765, the ship was launched,
and although its completion took another 13 years, in 1778 the battleship Victory was enlisted in the fleet lists.
The construction of the ship cost 63,176 pounds - almost for nothing
the country received another wonderful instrument of its history and glory.

now Victory is painted according to the canons of the 18th century: black top yellow middle like a beeline >

the nasal figure after the restructuring of 1799 became a heraldic wick >

now all the rigging is from Italian hemp, but once it was from Russian>

non-original
almost fake

well, modern designers also chose the typeface full hello
in Nelson's time they used normal English headsets
caselon or baskerville
so that the British then sign their ship with a square capitalis
not even funny you know

HMS Victory was launched in 1765 as the flagship of the English Navy. She was successively commanded by Admirals Keppel, Hove, Hood, Sir John Jurvis and finally Lord Nelson. It was under the command of Nelson that HMS Victory went down in history as the flagship of the British in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, when the main forces of the Spanish-French fleet were defeated. In 1921, what was left of the Victory was moved to Portsmouth, where the famous ship was restored and mothballed. Now there is a museum, which is visited by about 2,000 people daily.

Ship Model Kit Contents

The wooden ship model for assembly HMS Victory Artesania Latina was the most anticipated in 2005 in the world of ship modeling. And the long months of waiting were not in vain. Artesania Latina presented the largest and most beautiful of all its models - HMS Victory of the 1765 model. The first thing you pay attention to when looking at this model is the size and weight of the box. Only then comes the understanding that the material, rails, studs, blocks, threads, etc. not just a lot, but a lot. This justifies set weight - 12 kilograms. In addition, a number of novelties for this company are applied here, in particular, laser cutting, the use of American basswood and bright mahogany coral, high-quality and detailed finished sails, photo-etched parts and threads in three colors.

Standard stacking case has eighteen frames and special inserts in the bow and stern. All decks are made, except for the lowest one. This allowed full cannons to be placed there instead of half cannons, and cannon ports no longer look blind. The plating of the large hull is carried out with 50 cm long slats, and not with slats in the entire length of the hull, as in cheaper models. All windows of the side and aft galleries are provided with warm yellow windows. The guns, both on the upper and lower decks, stand on regular wedge-shaped machines assembled from fifteen parts. The angle of inclination of each gun is set by a thrust wedge. The set provides three boats, piping for all cannons and carronades, many gratings and ladders, nets, prefabricated stern lights, four anchors, etc.

spars made of round walnut blanks, more than two hundred yufers and countless different blocks are used for rigging, more than 300 meters of threads of various colors and diameters. Despite these impressive figures, the assembly of the model should not cause problems, because. at every step you will be helped by a beautiful, detailed, full-color instructions. The parts list at the end of the manual is also in color, making it much easier to find the right material. In addition, the dimensions of each part are given there. The drawings are made in color on ten A3 sheets. We are also pleased with the quality of the sails, which has greatly increased in comparison with other models. All 19 sails have an imitation of individual luffs, lyktros along their perimeter and, if necessary, reefs. For those who want to make sails on their own, their patterns are given with all sizes.

Starting in 2012, the stand and holders may not be included with the model.

HMS Victory (1765) - 104-gun ship of the line of the first rank of the Royal Navy of Great Britain. Laid down July 23, 1759, launched May 7, 1765. He took part in many naval battles, including the Battle of Trafalgar, during which Admiral Nelson was mortally wounded on board. After 1812, he did not take part in the hostilities, and since January 12, 1922, he has been permanently moored in the oldest sea dock in Portsmouth. Currently, the ship has been restored to the condition it was in during the Battle of Trafalgar and turned into a museum, which is one of the main attractions of Portsmouth.

Quite a long time ago, in childhood, I collected Ognikov's "Comrade", "Eagle". Collected completely from the box, without painting. Then there was "Purkua Pa", I also collected a boxed version, but already with coloring. And so, this fall, I remembered my once forgotten hobby, and decided to collect something. He chose the battleship HMS Victory from Zvezda. Although in the future, when I began to assemble, I realized that the model was quite difficult for the first work after so many years, especially in terms of coloring. But he still got the job done.

The ship was built for about 5 months. Painted entirely with brushes, acrylic "Star" and a little "Tamiya". Subsequently, I discovered that the Zvezda paint adheres rather poorly to the surface, it can be easily scratched with a fingernail. Because of this, the entire model was covered first with a glossy, and then with a matte Tamiya varnish from spray cans. The quality of the parts is rather mediocre, there is enough flash, a lot had to be “finished with a file”. I did not use primer and putty on this model.

I assembled it according to the instructions, with a minimum of my changes, except that I added a fence at the gangway from the lower deck. I did not use the paint scheme offered by the star, but relied on photographs of the prototype taken in the summer of 2005. I didn’t like the plastic sails that came with the kit, so I didn’t put them on at all. The rigging in the instructions is rather thin, so I decided to use the Mamoli drawings. The rigging carried out as fully as the scale and my hands allow))). Blocks were not used. The details of the spar are rather thin, then I already noticed that the topmast on the mizzen mast was a little taken aside (maybe I am mistaken in the name).

There are enough goats. For example, not always smooth color lines, because. I used masking tape, it does not fit well everywhere, and in these places the paint flows under it, I tried to fix it with a toothpick. It also turned out not quite even coloring of small details, for example, on the stern gallery, although I painted it with a toothpick, it still turned out not very even - I lack experience))). It’s also a rather large joint, I don’t know whether these are such parts in the set, or I assembled it so crookedly: I started trying on the back wall of the aft gallery, it turned out to be a little larger in width. I didn’t think of anything else how to grind off the right side a little.

Scale: 1/180

In the end, the result is in front of you. Ready to catch stools)))
