"HMS Victoria: The Last British Wooden Warship" Step back in time to the 19th century and witness the grandeur of HMS Victoria, the last British wooden first-rate three-decked ship of the line. Launched in 1859, this Royal Navy warship was a true marvel of its time. As the lead ship in her class of two battleships, HMS Victoria commanded attention wherever she sailed. With her impressive 121 guns and later upgraded to 102 guns, she stood as a symbol of naval power and technological advancement. One engraving captures the awe-inspiring sight passing down the Tyne at Newcastle. The ship's majestic presence left onlookers spellbound as they marveled at her sheer size and beauty. However, tragedy struck this magnificent vessel when Vice-Admiral Sir George Tryon met his untimely demise aboard HMS Victoria. In an engraving titled "The Loss of HMS 'Victoria', " we see men desperately jumping from the ship as it turned bottom upwards before sinking into oblivion. Despite this devastating event, another engraving depicts boats picking up survivors after the flagship had sunk. It serves as a reminder that even amidst darkness, hope can still be found through acts of bravery and rescue. Through these engravings, we are transported to moments frozen in history - capturing both triumphs and tragedies that unfolded aboard HMS Victoria. They serve as poignant reminders not only of her significance but also pay tribute to those who served onboard with unwavering dedication. HMS Victoria may have been made from wood but its legacy is etched forever within maritime history - a testament to Britain's naval prowess during an era long gone by.
