HMS Victory (1737)
:''For the museum ship at Portsmouth on which Admiral Nelson was killed during the Battle of Trafalgar, see HMS ''Victory''.
HMS ''Victory'' was a 100-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built to the dimensions of the 1733 proposals of the 1719 Establishment at Portsmouth Dockyard, and launched on 23 February 1737.〔Lavery, Ships of the Line vol.1, p170.〕
==Construction==
A small number of the timbers used in the construction of ''Victory'' were taken from the remains of the previous , which had caught fire and been burnt to the waterline in February 1721 whilst having weed burned from her bottom (in a process called "breaming"). Officially a rebuild of the previous vessel, the new ''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.
The ''Victory'' was "a high-sided ship for her draught and this was believed to have made her leewardly and to have led to her loss".〔Howard, ''Sailing Ships of War 1400-1860'', p.182〕 The term "leewardly" means she had a tendency to be pushed to leeward (down wind) more than normal when sailing with the wind on a quarter or on the beam, making her hard to keep on course. A plan of the ship reproduced in Howard and an extant contemporary model also show her with four rows of lights (stern galleries) and three quarter galleries, one more of each than was usual for an English three-decker in any period.〔Howard, ''Sailing Ships of War 1400-1860''〕
