The HMS Victory


This was the famous ship commanded by Lord Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar and on which he died. The ship is beautifully preserved and you can walk all through it, imagining what life was like for 18th c. sailors. For one thing, they were lucky if they were short because the low, low ceilings could be pretty annoying.
