Title: HMS Victory, Portsmouth Harbour, 1850. [Go to resource]
Description: In 1812 the Victory cast anchor in Portsmouth Harbour, and there she remained, off shore at Gosport, for 110 years, from 1825 she was the flagship of the Portsmouth station. At last she proved unequal to the strain of lying at moorings in a tideway, and was removed to No2 Dock of H M Dockyard, to be preserved as a relic of bygone times. She has been restored and remains a popular attraction for visitors to Portsmouth. Charpentier's Guide to Portsmouth and Southsea. 1939, p83. Copy of an engraving published by W. H.
