A tour around HMS Victory

It occurred to me to dig out the pictures we took while going round HMS Victory in the summer. Unfortunately I don't seem to have one of an officer's cabin, to prove the fact that they were about one pace deep, but I do have one of Admiral Nelson's sleeping cabin:




His bed is a canvas hammock with a board at the bottom, covered by a thin mattress. The curtains were embroidered by Emma Hamilton :) And he has a reasonably large space in which to move because he's sharing it with two cannons.

We took too many pictures to make a picspam at all reasonable, so Andrew has put them on his Flickr account, and you can see them all here:

All aboard for a tour of the Victory

But as it's very cold here again, and the Victory is entirely without central heating, I suggest you warm yourself on the galley before you go ;)
