It seems at the beginning of this year, working on the ship they found a layer of a color. The tests put that color on the same date with the battle of Trafalgar. All the sience people was agreed: this is the color HMS Victory was wearing at Trafalgar. This was the color ora the brithish fleet. So, at 30/07/2015 they started to bring Victory at the Trafalgar look!

So we are looking at it being blue and cream......???.......... Not the yellow and black that everyone seems to use........ Whoops

It is not a black anymore! Is a lighter dark.

When you get up to it though it's like a tan colour not yellow but now it's cream , has anyone thought to tell them that the colour it was thought to be might of faded !!!


If the historians thought it was yellow how did they get it wrong ?

When HMS Victory was Commissioned, I believe she was Red.
