EDITORS COMMENTS
The HMS Victory, a legendary British naval vessel and the flagship of Admiral Horatio Nelson during the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, arrives in Portsmouth Harbour around the turn of the 20th century. In this photo print, the historic warship can be seen fitted up as a Naval School of Telegraphy before it became a floating signal school proper. The HMS Victory played a significant role in the history of the Royal Navy, and its arrival in Portsmouth Harbour marked the beginning of its preservation for the nation. The ship's distinctive silhouette, adorned with various flags and signals, is a testament to its rich naval history. Ratings on the deck pay close attention to the signalling lines, ensuring the effective transmission of messages between ships. The HMS Victory's arrival in Portsmouth Harbour marked the beginning of its new role as a symbol of maritime heritage and a source of inspiration for future generations of naval personnel. Eventually, in 1922, the ship was saved for the nation and moved into a drydock, where it remains to this day as a popular tourist attraction and a reminder of Britain's proud naval history.
