I once had a tour of HMS Victory and it is indeed impressive, watching the video it's a wonder it even floated let alone won battles. I certainly wouldn't want to be a sailor back in those days.
If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.

Cool video! 8)

Being a sailor during those times must have been tough.

The "facilities" for the non-officers were primitive in the
extreme. Imagine having a digestive upset during foul weather.
NOT a good time......

And the amount of rope used is mind-boggling.....

On a tour of HMS Victory a French tourist asked " are those the actual cannon balls used at Trafalgar?" the tour guide replied " no the French navy have those".... :D
