Visitors can expect to step aboard one of the most celebrated warships in Britain’s naval history, HMS Victory. They will see the ship through Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson’s eyes as his flagship is presented as she was in her Georgian heyday. Visitors will be able to explore every nook and cranny of HMS Victory, from the Great Cabin to the lower gun deck, and even interact with Captain Hardy in his cabin.
HMS Victory is undergoing major new conservation work, which started in May 2022. The ship will remain open to visitors, but access may be restricted for limited periods. Visitors are advised to keep up to date on the website and social media for updates on the conservation work.
HMS Victory is open all year round from 10am every day. Visitors can explore the ship and learn about its history and restoration work at their own pace.
Visitors can learn all about the conservation happening on HMS Victory, why the Big Repair is so vital to the ship's future, and updates on the conservation work in the dedicated digital hub. The ship is currently undergoing the biggest restoration programme in her history following guidelines set out in the National Historic Ships UK (NHSUK) Publication ‘Conserving Historic Vessels’.
As a charity, the National Museum of the Royal Navy relies on funding from many sources to preserve the rich history of the Royal Navy. Visitors can support the museum by donating, shopping for items from the collection, or booking a visit to the museum.
