HMS Victory and Nelson

This model of HMS Victory was made from the plans and details in "Anatomy of Nelson's Ships" by C. Nepean Longridge (Model and Allied Publications Ltd, UK, 1955) by Canada Steamship Lines' Captain Harry Clarke, who hailed from Picton, Prince Edward County. In 1965, he donated this model to The Prince Edward Collegiate Institute, who have recently modified their library facilities and donated HMS Victory to the Archives and Collections Society.

The Society has accommodated the model as the centre-piece of a "Nelson and HMS Victory" collection, which will include this most important period in naval History, from the end of the American Revolution in 1783 to the end of the end of the War of 1812 and the Napoleonic era in 1815.
