Show Notes
This is Part 1 of a three-part special audio tour of HMS Victory, Horatio Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 and a First Rate ship of the line which, by 1805, had already acquired a significant history. This, the first episode, looks at the lowest two decks, the hold and the orlop deck, both below waterline; the second episode will look at the gun decks where the sailors lived and fought Victory’s 104 guns; and episode three will look at everything open to the elements – the weather deck, quarter deck, poop deck and forecastle. Dr Sam Willis was taken on a tour of Victory by Tony Noon, one of HMS Victory's tour guides, and by Rosey Thornber, Principal Heritage Advisor for HMS Victory.
