Continuing Victory Ltd’s goal of making this unique heritage material available to as wide an audience as possible. All materials and products are supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the Commanding Officer of HMS Victory. The 1805 Collection brings together the best of British craftspeople, brand leading sponsors, period experts and unique, historic material to create a limited editions collection of superior quality and excellence that will be seen as a fitting tribute to the men of the participating nations, the ships and the heroism that was Trafalgar.
