Learn about the once-in-a-lifetime project to fight the impact of moisture, fungus and pests that threaten HMS Victory; meet the incredible teams fighting to protect her and see her as never before by climbing aboard the scaffold that encases her in this unique and groundbreaking experience. Built over 250 years ago, she was expected to operate for only nine years without major repair. She has undergone multiple repairs over her life and now we embark on the latest.
Access the scaffold surrounding HMS Victory and see the painstaking work needed to preserve her. Meet the incredible team of craftsmen, conservators, engineers, and shipwrights who will protect her for the next 50 years. For younger explorers there is a dedicated family trail, so everyone can experience this once in a generation work.
As the project evolves, we will update the experience and reflect the latest analysis and planning, making a truly unique visit worth coming back for time and time again.
Please Note: Access to the scaffold may be limited due to operational circumstances, where possible we will inform visitors ahead of their visit. The scaffold is accessible via a lift for those with mobility issues.
