Before the HMSVictory debacle, I had alreadfy sworn that I was done with rigging tiny ships, but being gifted a pair of Brigs (a covermount on a wargames mag I think) meant the glue, tweezers and swearing all made a reappearance as I conjured these two little ships up into a pair of Pirate brigs.

"His New Flagship" 👑⚓On 25 April 1778, King George III visited HMS Victory, soon to be his navy’s new flagship. A warship destined for history, even before her most famous battle at Trafalgar.#NavalHistory #HMSVictory #RoyalNavy #AgeOfSail #GeoffHunt

That one time I got to read a signal log from VICTORY, dated 1804, while cross-referencing a period signal book…
Spine-chilling stuff. The past felt so close.

#OTD HMS Victory was returning to England as the flagship of Sir John Balchen's fleet on 4 Oct 1744. A major storm scattered the ships and the Victory was last seen at 15:30 near the Channel Islands before disappearing. (1/4)🧵

It was amazing to handle this log firsthand and cross-reference a period signal book to uncover the exact signals being sent! A real connection to the Royal Navy’s communication at sea.

Picked up today in Wells Next the Sea - Nelson Remembering by David Burton. The oak fragment on the cover of the book is from the Victory and has provenance that it formed part of the ship in 1805.
