Year: 2015 Language: english Author: Brian Lavery Genre: History Publisher: Seaforth Publishing Edition: 1st Edition (April, 2015) ISBN: 9781473854949 Format: EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 160 Print length Description: May 2015 is the 250th anniversary of the launch of HMS Victory. While many books have been written about Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar, none tell the full story of the ship since she first took to the waters in 1765. Nelson's Victory also tells the story of Horatio Nelson, who was born a few weeks before his most famous ship was ordered, and whose career paralleled hers in many ways. While offering new insights on the battle of Trafalgar, this book says much more about the ship's life as a flagship, a fighting ship, a prison hospital ship, a training ship, a floating courtroom, a signal school, a tourist attraction, and a national icon. It looks at her through many eyes, including Queen Victoria, admirals, midshipmen and ordinary seamen, and Beatrix Potter who visited as a girl. It is simply a 'must-have' work for historians and enthusiasts, and a compelling new narrative for the general reader.
