EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures H.M.S. Victory moored in Portsmouth Harbour during Nelson Day celebrations in the early 20th century. The historic vessel, built in 1765, is a testament to Britain's rich maritime heritage. The image commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar, a pivotal moment in naval history, which took place on October 21, 1805. On that fateful day, Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson, one of the most celebrated figures in the Royal Navy, lost his life on the Victory. Nelson's death, which occurred on September 21, 1758, is remembered on the anniversary of the battle. This square format photograph, taken circa 1900, provides a glimpse into the past, offering a poignant reminder of the significant role the Victory and Nelson played in shaping the history of the British Navy. The image invites us to reflect on the grandeur of the sea, the courage of the sailors, and the enduring legacy of a legendary admiral.
