HMS Victory Small Ship Model
The HMS Victory was the ultimate British fighting vessel: 227 feet long with
104 guns and 850 men when at full capacity. It was launched in 1765 and is most
famous as Adm. Horatio Nelson’s flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in
1805. Nelson was shot and killed during the battle.
The HMS Victory is the oldest naval ship still in commission today. It has
been restored and rests in drydocks at Portsmouth, England. The ship in Portsmouth
is the sixth ship with the name Victory in the Royal Navy. There has been great
interest in the fifth Victory ship, which was built 15 years earlier and whose
wreckage was found recently by Odyessy Marine Exploration.

All of our model ships and boats are handmade from scratch.
They are built by very skillful and experienced craftsmen.
They are also built according to the scale of the original full sized
ships. We do this through the use of original plans or pictures and use
a plank on frame construction method. The hull of our ships are joined
by multiple pieces of dry thin wood.
Inside of the hull, we use a special glue that is imported
just for this purpose. The glue makes the wood strips stay close together
so that they will not split, crack or twist which can happen due to weather
changes or humidity changes.
Our models are built completely for raw materials, NOT
kits. We recommend that you purchase a display stand for each ship that
you purchase to protect it from harm.
