A Living Monument to the Age of Sail – Lord Nelson’s Legendary Flagship
Command a piece of naval history with the HMS Victory, the most prestigious vessel in the Old Modern Handicrafts Admiral Line. Launched in 1765 and forever immortalized as Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson’s flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar, the HMS Victory remains the ultimate symbol of maritime dominance and Georgian-era engineering. This Exclusive Edition replica captures the "First-Rate" grandeur of the world's oldest commissioned warship, meticulously recreated for the collector who values historical weight as much as aesthetic perfection.
Unlike standard models, each Admiral Line HMS Victory is an individual work of art, distinguished by a unique serial number etched into the hull—a hallmark of its limited production and museum-grade pedigree. Built from the keel up using the same plank-on-frame techniques employed by 18th-century shipwrights, this masterpiece features three ferocious rows of metal cannons and the intricate stern galleries that once served as the nerve center of the British Royal Navy.

A Legacy in Every Detail
The HMS Victory was more than just a ship; it was a floating fortress. Built at Chatham Dockyard, it required over 6,000 trees—90% of which were English Oak—to construct her massive hull. On October 21, 1805, during the Battle of Trafalgar, the Victory led a British fleet of 27 ships against a combined French and Spanish force of 33. Under Nelson's brilliant command, the British achieved a decisive victory without losing a single vessel, though Nelson himself fell on the Victory’s deck. Today, she remains the flagship of the First Sea Lord and is preserved in dry dock at Portsmouth, serving as a timeless testament to Britain’s naval past.
