Meet The Makers – Experience HMS Victory like never before

Enjoy a Victory summer this year! Why not try some of the traditional skills that helped build HMS Victory? From ropework and sailmaking to woodcarving and gilding, have you ever wondered how national icons like Nelson’s flagship, HMS Victory was built without the help of modern equipment?

Have you ever been tempted to have a go to see if you have what it takes to be an 18th Century master craftsman. During Victory Skills week you can learn from the Royal Navy Museums’ shipwrights, conservators and scientists who are combining these ancient skills with the latest cutting-edge technology to preserve our national treasure, HMS Victory, the sole surviving ship from the Battle of Trafalgar.
