According to this article, the official sculptor of the British royal familyIan BrennanMr. Sakura made a sculpture of an extremely precise battleship Victory with about 1.1 meters using wood taken from the Victory body given as a material over 17 years.

The oak, taken from the gun deck at the lower position of Victory, is very stiff like a concrete and he said it took more time than he himself imagined to complete this sculpture, Brennan said It is. In addition, during the production period of 17 years, he used the overall work wearable enough to wear it, and that he replaced four pieces.

There are 200 feet long complex ropes, 104 small guns, 37 wind sustainable sails, and Nelson's famous word "Britain expects each member to fulfill their duties Even the flag with the phrase "to do" was written by sculpture.



It is engraved precisely to fine details such as small boat mounted in the ship.


Even when Victory won the French Spanish fleet in the Trafalgar battle of 1805, Victory's figure is recorded with all sails raised. This fight was the most wonderful victory of Admiral Nelson 's victory, but he was sniemed during the battle, knowing that they won while breathing on the deck ceaselessly He died.

This is an existing battleship Victory. Once it was made to be scraped, Sir Thomas Hardy who was the confidant of Admiral Nelson escaped the difficulties as opposed to it, and still exists today.
