I happened to pop down to Pompey the other week to have a look round and at the moment Victory is not looking her best! She's currently (or was when I was there) dismasted and with her paintwork, copper and outer hull stripped right down on the bows as they were checking for rot and I think replacing the timbers/masts, so if you want some up to date photos it may not be the best time to go.

I think I remember them saying shed be back to her previous glory by spring though if you can wait that long for your photos??
