Featured in A love of Boats
The Gun Deck of HMS Victory Portsmouth UK.I am a huge fan of Alexander Kents novels (amongst others) and this really gave me a feel of the horrors and conditions that the sailors experienced.

Wow great image. What a thing to see and photograph. :)
Thanks so much Anna.It was an awesome day there.I have a real love of Tall Ships so Portsmouth was right up there for me especially to be on board the Victory and get a feel for its history.It is also such an experience to know that you have walked on decks that were at the Battle of Trafalgar.Glad that you like it.
