What ever happened to the MTB that was in an entrance just before the main entrance to the hospital there. As you go down the road it was on the left before Haslar hospital. It was totally unique. Never seen one this shape. She has a rounded front deck to the bow . This was from the superstructure forward. Made of wood planks. It was there for years .Definitely a one off. I have never ever seen another like it.

"Down in the Westcountry" Just say "in Devon" , is it so difficult? It's patronising to infer that you're 'up' somewhere superior whilst 'down' there is, rather surprisingly, this interesting thing. And you don't even realise you're doing it.

They are lucky... because another team was gonna get this bell and keep it in private collection. Lucky this team got it first and put it on display.

Make a building round it to prevent weathering !!! its done for concorde and other aircraft

Would love to see a full size documentary about these valiant men in their high powered boats.

Honest question here. I thought I read that the USN offered the RN lumber from the USS Constitution's preserved white oak plantation. Do I have that right? There are several ships from around the world that absolutely deserve preservation and it seems to me that all the preservationists should work together to maintain the world's maritime history.

My dad was served on Hms Ekins with the 16th Destroyer Flotilla based at Harwich and used to go out with boats like this every other night hunting E boats and he said it was " hairy"

Painting yellow stripes on British ships to make enemies think they are cowards before fighting. Just like the Red uniforms to make themselves easy targets. Didn't work out too well in 1776-78. Or in 1812-14 at sea against the US. BTW we still have a ship on active duty that can sail from that second war. Victory is next to helpless hard aground forever.

Think part of the color that was wrong was that it was a blending in tone that came from the fact most of the trim was covered in gold gilt that is now long gone. The old orange was not orginal but at a distance looked like the gold was still covering the trim.

Pretty building that was once a ship. Sealed forever in the land and top mast removed. A former ship can never sail again is no longer a ship. If you want to see an old ship of sail check out the Active service USS Constitution when they take her out to turn around. Only a few years younger and still sailing.

English weather......put a glass house on!

Yes, this was a very popular vessel that took passengers on wonderful sea voyages during the summer months in Devon..

She is still an impressive ship by today’s standards. Massive in size

Brilliant video thank you 👍

Why isn't the ship kept inside a building? Surly it would increase its longevity immensely.

Excellent!!! I'm a professional model maker, I'm about to build a model of her. This is the reason I clicked on this video. As the quizzical comment said about model ships around the world now being the wrong color..... HA HA HA I think that's hilarious. The replica ship Endeavour in Australia said these are the correct colors. I'm so thankful I found that video, (on her launch the true colors were discused.) Thank you

Great, thank you!!! //Lars

Were there any coins under the mast? A naval tradition was to put a coin under the mast where ot sat on the keelson, and it'd be interested to see what was there! (I couldn't tell, even with the good resolution of this vid.) When was the main mast in this vid oroginally stepped? It couldn't be original, right? (At the least, the main mast was pretty well shot up at Trafalgar, if I recall correctly.) Very interesting vid, btw!

This is wonderful to see. Given the abhorrence of modern societies' obsession with cancel culture and demolishing as many "British," things they can, the preservation of icons of Great Britain's history has never been so important, and HMS Victory is definitely iconic. 🙌 👌🇬🇧🇬🇧

salt soaking into the wood of the hull from the seawater would have helped prevent fungus from taking hold.

Where is Britannic?

I understand the only original part on the Flying Scotsman engine is the name plate. Is this the same for HMS Victory?

What an insult, french Oak on a 18th century British warship, Nelson would turn in his grave.

'True colours', my foot!!

This ship is an important part of Britain history . When they ruled the waves

A pink Victory, bravo Lincoln University, Bravo - Slow handclap.

I've been on the Victory a couple of times and the tour is always interesting. However, it would be more interesting if they had put a little information in the video about how the mast was originally installed and how masts were repaired after storm or battle damage. BTW- the USS Constitution " Old Ironsides" though not quite as old as Victory is still afloat and commissioned in the US Navy.

Riggers- also referred to as the "R" word.

What a task! Well done. Imagine these ship of the line after an engagement, clearing the deck, rigging replacement while injured, short-handed, and most likely in bad sea conditions. Amazing!

C'est malheureux mais c'était la bonne décision de Churchill. Comment les Britanniques pouvaient-ils faire confiance aux Francais de ne pas livrer leur flotte au Nazis alors qu'ils venaient de donner leur pays aux Nazis? Les Britanniques luttaient pour leur survie, seuls contre tous après la capitulation de la France. D'ailleurs, Darlan était un collabo et un opportuniste. Chef du gouvernement de Vichy pendant un temps, il retournait sa veste quand les alliés commencaient à gagner. Dans Les protocoles de Paris le 28 mai 1941, ce même Darlan a livré une base à la Luftwaffe à Alep en Syrie, ainsi que des véhicules, de l'artillerie et des munitions sont été cédés aux Allemands, en Afrique du Nord, ainsi qu'en Syrie, aux Irakiens en lutte contre le Royaume-Uni. Je regrette seulement que tant de marins francais ont du mourrir pour servir les intérêts de Darlan et à cause d'un amiral francais qui jouait le coq offensé car on lui avait envoyé un simple capitaine. Les témoignages es survivants me brisent le coeur.

A portrait of Nelson hung at the wall over my bed in youthtime, after I had the chance, to get on bord as a pupil... Hornblower books 50 times at least, building Victory and Bounty as huge scale RC-models (Mizzen Mast 1,80 m:, 70 kg weight to put inside :) Years later I was honoured, to become godfather of a half british girl... Guess, what she was taught... from my view , her parents made the best possible choice among Germans here, and I felt her grandparents in heaven smiling, filled up with pride, love and joy. She became a sailor... Love To GB :) And thank you for the giant investigations into Victory`s future. The restaured parts look simply fantastic.

Wow! Hats off, whether athwartships or fore & aft, to all involved. 🌟👍

I imagine in time the Victory will be like Triggers brush... from... Only fools and horse's TV show.

What will they do with the old planks?

How many millions did the 1990s renovations cost, and only lasted 30 years, you need to get people who know what they are doing to do the work

I use run past the Victory whilst training through the dockyard back in the early 80s. The RN museum was small and there was no black fencing around the ship. Also the Mary Rose was in no 2 dock next to her. Still open to the elements but with spray water system keeping the Mary Rose timbers from drying out. Always wanted to get drafted(posted) to Victory whilst in the Mob(RN), but never got the chance sadly. Hearts of Oak⚓👍

we can't take the royal navy serious any more now they have transgenders and rainbow colours and very light discipline in case they offend some one they are a joke now

Reference the carbon issue. Surely the cutting down transportation shaping planning drilling installing painting whould produce more carbon

As with any project, a lot of people standing around watching other people work

Probably still in better condition than these two new aircraft carriers!

Glad to hear that we they have saved that carbon from being released back into the environment by not letting the oak rot away. Ermmm was that not what has happened for millions of years but now all of a sudden it is ?

How much wil this joke cost the People of UK ? For entire city's falling in decay and homeless People is no money , but for this 💩 thesky is the limit 😡😡👎👎

I've been building a scale model of a 50 gun Royal navy ship for some years that is rougly contempory with Victory. I avoided the whole issue of accurately reflecting the painted finish by using a "Dockyard model" colour scheme of black for the chainwales and gunwales and natural wood finish in between. Looks great.

Victor on the Victory!

Inch by inch?? Don't you mean centimeter by centimeter? 😂 How is it that everyone that talks is a project manager? Who's doing all the work? Where are they at?

Quite a victory.

Really exciting to work on this I'd think. It's pretty cool to deal with a Messum skiff so, as one who was obsessed with Viscount Admiral Lord Nelson as a kid, well, wow.. I bet you see q a few woodlice, they like thier oak. I was digging out the stem/breasthook of the aforementioned 19th century boat and was pondering for a mo when out came 7 or 8 of the tiny trilobites looking for all the world like they had suitcases. I almost apologised to them. All the best with this project, which is of vital importance to our national heritage, of course. 🇬🇧🌟👍

All the cannons are fiberglass

why didn't they wind it up and set Horatio's rather vulger piece of bling quivering ? -- there's SO much more than nelson to our history with the sea

I thought she would have been put together with trenails, not 20th centuary ironmongers screws ?
