HMS 'Victoria', Royal Navy 121 gun warship, c1859 (c1890-c1893). Artist: William Frederick Mitchell

HMS 'Victoria', Royal Navy 121 gun warship, c1859 (c1890-c1893). Launched in 1859, HMS 'Victoria' was the last three decker ship of the line to enter service with the Royal Navy. She was the largest wooden warship ever built. The advent of ironclad warships rendered 'Victoria' obsolete, and she was only in active service from 1864 until 1867, after which she was assigned to the Reserve Fleet at Portsmouth. She was scrapped in 1893. A print from Her Majesty's Navy Including its Deeds and Battles, by Lieut Chas Rathbone Low, Volume II, JS Virtue & Co, London, 1890-1893.
