what is the hms victory made out of?

Question

Like I know it was wood but what else? and also how does it differ from the hms warrior?! PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Oak, mainly. But there was some wrought iron, iron and bronze for the cannon, brass fittings, copper for the keel. HMS Warrior is made of steel. At Trafalgar HMS Victory had 104 guns.

Answer 2

Bombs hit the barracks for the first time during a daylight raid on August 12 1940. The bombs hit the south east corner of the parade ground damaging the bandstand, and the Wardroom the other side of the road separating the officers and ratings barracks. If the bombs had landed on the air raid shelters, there would have been a great number of casualties. The worst raids were to follow. On August 24 1940 the barracks escaped with minor damage. But HMS Victory was not so lucky on the next major raid in January 1941. On 10 11 March 1941 14 direct hits badly damaged the barracks killing 10 men and wounding 47. The largest raid to hit the barracks occurred on 17 April 1941 when a land mine destroyed the Sick Bay and part of the Chief Petty Officers Mess leaving 33 dead and 71 injured

Answer 3

Hms Victory 1737

Answer 4

It was made primarily of oak - very thick, being 2 feet thick at the waterline. Victory was not armored; but HMS Warrior was. Although HMS Victory was unarmoured wood, oak is particularly dense and resilient and highly effective in battle. It is the same material that made the USS Constitution, 'Old Ironsides', so famously resistant to shot.

If you are a beginner or have done some woodworking you will find these plans easy-to-follow as the instructions are very clearly written https://tr.im/KABej



The woodworking plans are straightforward so they are not complicated at all. Even if you are a total newcomer to woodworking you will simply be able to master all the techniques that are needed and the woodworking skills very quickly by following the concise and clear instructions.



Another thing which is so great about these woodworking plans is that there have been some videos included and there are some to guide you in how to build benches home furniture dog houses bird feeders sheds and much much more.

Hope this helps, too!

The British navy's warships had enormous advantages from their training in attaining high rates of fire from their guns, at least five times more than their opposition. This training extended to every aspect of handling their vessels.



In particular, they were "Copper Bottomed" - covered below the water-line in a thick layer of copper to prevent fouling by barnacles and other wood-boring marine animals as well as plant growths. At the time, there were considerable reserves of copper ore in Britain, which other maritime rivals did not have. All these would weaken and slow a vessel substantially, over time at sea. The consequent difference in speed and manoeuvrability displayed by the British ships had huge effects on the morale of opposing forces.



Standardisation of weapons and equipment had been conducted in the British navy for some time, thanks to the urging of the then Secretary of the Navy, SPepysPeypes. The Franco-Spanish Navy, defeated at Trafalgar by Admiral Nelson, had enormous difficulty in supplying the correct-sized shot to a huge variety of weapons carried by all of their vessels. Not only to wrong vessels but wrong ports as well!



At an earlier battle at Aboukir Bay, Nelson was able to do considerable damage to the French Fleet at anchor there, by sailing between the lines of ships, using additional mortars strapped to the bullwarks and fired by Artillerymen trained in their use. These penetrated the relatively weak top-decks, giving access for fire-weapons, the worst nightmare for naval vessels. An early example of Nelson's inventive mind.



This was the height of the wooden ships. Trafalgar was in 1854. HMS Warricommissionedsioned in 1861 and was built from iron and steel in response to the french vessel, La Gloire ("Glory"). Not only the ship's structure in iron but the guns were rifled and breech-loaded. A stunning response to the threat, at the time. In addition, she had steam powered screws to augment the sails. She was outdated in less than 25 years! The days of naval leviathans had begun, ending by the end of 1943 when Japan attacked Pearl Harbour and later with the sinking of The Bismark.



As an aside, you may be interested to know that my father's father was a jr armament officer on HMS Hood in the 1920's but he was retired as Armaments training Officer at Chatham Naval Dockyard, by the beginning of WWII and died in Dec. 1947, when I was 7yrs old. Also, my father was an engineer in the RAF at age 19, spending 3 yrs in Turkmenistan (now Iraq), driving about in armoured cars, policing tribesmen in conflict with each other! Nothing has changed much, has it?



Finally, I have stood on HMS Victory's upper and lower decks and inside Nelson's stateroom!

Answer 10

HMS Victory, built 1737 of English Oak - a 100 gun Georgian Battleship of the Line.



Victory was built by master shipwright Joseph Allin and cost £38,239 to assemble, plus £12,652 fitting as a flagship. Launched in 1737 she became the flagship of the Channel Fleet under Sir John Norris following completion in 1740. She was the last British First Rate to be armed entirely with bronze cannon.

In c1905 (the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar 1805) thousands of small tokens were made from the copper bottom of Victory which was being replaced with new copper plates.

Many of these were purchased by Americans.
