HMS Victory

I created this slideshow of HMS Victory to express my love for her as a gem of British history. The song "Amaranth" by Nightwish fits her perfectly as she is an amaranth for the UK.

I made this video out of respect for both the ship & the band, because I believe the power & the lyrics behind this song fitted her so well.

However, WMG made a claim on it. I own the album, & I only made this video for personal use. I can't fathom why something like this would upset them. Their official video has probably been ripped from YouTube countless times using online conversion websites, but that doesn't seem to matter, nor does any AMV made by other users out of games/anime/music.

Thanks for all the comments guys.

She truly is amazing and her upkeep is ever so important. She costs at least £1.5m a year.

thank you for putting up this vid...closest I can get to the Victory...for now (I hope in the future to eventually come across the pond and see her myself :) )

Thanks for the comment.

I only live about 4 hours drive from her and I can't get there as much as I'd love to. It must be even more annoying when you're a few thousand miles away across the ocean.

Save up and come see her soon.

I'll be getting down there at the next available opportunity.

What a beautiful ship. Saw her last year and ever since ive been reading about her, nelson and the age of sail. cant wait to see her again

[WayfarerEvangelist]

I'm the same.

I couldn't agree more. Maybe nowadays we can build things cheaper and faster, but even with modern technology we'd struggle to recreate something as magnificent as the H.M.S. Victory.

I think it's a shame such skills have been lost.

Still, it makes me proud to be British!

Made in the image and likeness of the Spanish line ship San Felipe. I congratulate you that you have it preserved

Magnificent ship, I have been onboard her a few times. Can't wait for my next visit.

Horatio Nelson (1758 - 1805)

Viscount Horatio Nelson

'England expects that every man will do his duty.'

With these words Nelson successfully inspired his squadron before the Battle of Trafalgar, in 1805, during which he died. At his death, Britain lost a complex leader who balanced a personal longing for honour and glory with a compassion and respect for his men.

What a mean looking ship! It is miracle and a blessing that she is still with us today!

She is a truly beautiful ship and a vital part of the history of Britain and the world. I wish this ship was sailable, like our USS CONSTITUTIOn(I guess they sail it like once a year or something like that)  It would be an amazing & beautiful sight, the VICTORY in the Solent with its 3 acres of sails up & all its guns out, like that fateful day in October 1805. Picture that!

As a novice student of the ships of sail and war of on the high sea's and of course, of Lord Nelson, this ship is absolutly breath taking. Good Work! Huzzah!
