Nelson’s flagship was designed and built here, and now there's a scaled model on show - well worth seeing

The Hardy Monument, at the highest point on Black Down, #Dorset. It is a memorial to Rear Admiral Sir Thomas Masterman Hardy, of #HMSVictory and Trafalgar fame, who lived in nearby in Portesham. His daughters laid the foundation stone on the 39th anniversary of the battle.

A Portland stone tower on a hilltop, looking rather like an early industrial chimney - an impression heightened by a puff of white cloud in the background above the top. The site is owned by the National Trust.

"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.

My great, great (I think it is) grandfather served on the Warrior. Well worth a visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard for that - and ofc #Nelson's #HMSVictory. As per your other works seen here, very nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

Owen has created these masterpieces. The first two are out of stabilized Wooly Mammoth Tusk. The next pen ready to scribe for you is made from Oak from HMS Victory - this ship is from the 1700’s.
