STORYLINE
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II carried out a review of an international fleet to mark the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar.
In that battle, Britain's Admiral Horatio Nelson routed Napoleon Bonaparte's French and Spanish forces and ensured that the Royal Navy ruled the waves for more than a hundred years.
The ceremony was watched by thousands of spectators at the southern coast city of Portsmouth.
Festivities began with the Queen, in her role as Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom, setting sail on the icebreaker HMS Endurance, accompanied by the Admiral of the Fleet, the Duke of Edinburgh.
35 nations contributed 58 vessels to the International Fleet Review, with 57 heads of foreign navies attending.
Also involved was a replica 18th-century frigate portraying the HMS Victory, the flagship that Nelson commanded and died aboard when a musket ball struck his spine during the famous sea battle.
The HMS Endurance then anchored and from its bridge the Queen and Prince Philip watched four war vessels steam past.
Eight tall ships then conducted a sail past, followed by about 300 private yachts, many from sailing clubs around Britain.
The Queen and Prince Philip then departed by royal helicopter for the HMS Invincible to give a reception for senior naval staff.
Celebrations will continue later on Tuesday with a mock sea battle involving ten tons of gunpowder and state-of-the-art pyrotechnics and a spectacular fireworks display.

Trafalgar 200 International Fleet Review 2005, Spithead, Portsmouth, England
The International Fleet Review took place on 28 June 2005, as part of the Trafalgar 200 celebrations to commemorate the 200th year after the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

During the afternoon of June 28, 2005 Queen Elizabeth II, as Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom, embarked onboard HMS Endurance and, escorted by THV Patricia, set sail to review a fleet of over 167 ships of the Royal Navy and of over 30 other nations. The last fleet review by the Queen in the United Kingdom was for the commemoration of Battle of the Atlantic anniversary in 1999.
The review took place on the Solent, between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, in England. The Fleet Review is a 600-year-old British tradition, and until the 2005 review consisted of mainly Royal Navy ships, with a small number of invited foreign ships, but there are today no longer enough Royal Navy warships available in home waters for this to be worthwhile. This review, therefore, went with the modern trend to inviting foreign warships too, and was the largest on record in terms of nations attending and of number of ships - 167 naval and merchant ships attended, including 57 British warships.
The Queen reviewed the fleet from on board the Royal Navy's Antarctic Patrol Vessel HMS Endurance. Huge crowds gathered along Southsea Common and Gosport Sea Front, to witness the largest gathering of naval vessels in the Solent since the Queen's Silver Jubilee Fleet Review in 1977.
The crowd was entertained by aerobatic and flying displays, including an appearance by a Spitfire, helicopter aerobatics and a special performance by the Red Arrows. While the weather had been very wet, the clouds appeared to clear in time for each display.
At the end of the day's festivities, centred around the review, a massive firework display was held as a 'reconstruction' of the Battle of Trafalgar (with Grand Turk standing in for HMS Victory, and with a red and a blue side rather than French and British ones), now known to be one of the largest firework displays in recorded history.

It was the fifth in a series of International Festivals of the Sea held in the United Kingdom since 1996, and was also the final part to the long week of festivities that began with the International Fleet Review 2005 off Spithead, Portsmouth on 28 June 2005. The event allowed people to walk around the Naval Base, to go on board all of the visiting vessels, including several vessels belonging to the Royal Navy and also for visitors to walk through the large sheds of the VT Shipbuilding group on site and see the parts of the Type 45 destroyers, HMS Dauntless and HMS Daring being constructed there.
Trafalgar 200 was a series of events in 2005 held mostly in the United Kingdom to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, where a British fleet led by Admiral Nelson (who died in the battle) defeated a joint Franco-Spanish fleet during the Napoleonic Wars. During the summer of 2005 there was an International Fleet Review, the first since 1977. A Drumhead Ceremony of Rememberance, a Spectacular re-enactment of a Sea Battle complete with thousands of Fireworks, All tied together with the Festival of the Sea in Portsmouth Naval Base. In an apparent effort to avoid giving offence, at the Fleet Review the fleets in the mock battle were called simply Red and Blue.
HMS Victory in Portsmouth Harbor England
This video was shot in June 1999 and is of The HMS Victory, a 104-gun ship of the English Royal Navy that was laid down in 1759 and launched in 1765. The Victory is most famous for being Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. In 1922 the ship was moved to a dry dock at Portsmouth, England, and is now a museum and is the oldest naval ship in commission.
A Walk Around The Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, England
Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is an area of HM Naval Base Portsmouth which is open to the public; it contains several historic buildings and ships. It is managed by the National Museum of the Royal Navy as an umbrella organisation representing five charities: the Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust, the National Museum of the Royal Navy Portsmouth, the Mary Rose Trust, the Warrior Preservation Trust Ltd and the HMS Victory Preservation Company. Portsmouth Historic Dockyard Ltd was created to promote and manage the tourism element of the Royal Navy Dockyard, with the relevant trusts maintaining and interpreting their own attractions. It also promotes other nearby navy-related tourist attractions.
The National Museum of the Royal Navy was first opened in Portsmouth in 1911. The museum is host to many original Naval artefacts, including one of the original sails from the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. You can also see the Trafalgar Experience, an interactive walk-through gallery which details the Battle of Trafalgar and ends with the famous Wyllie Panorama. The museum also includes World War I Monitor HMS M33, which opened to the public in 2015, the centenary year of her launch.
HMS Victory has been open to the public for nearly 200 years. She was the famous flagship of Admiral Horatio, Lord Nelson who he famously died on during the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. She was moved into her current dry-dock in 1922 where she has remained since.
The Mary Rose was raised in front of a worldwide TV audience in 1982. She was then brought to Portsmouth and housed in dry dock. A new £35million museum, housing the ship and thousands of artefacts that were also recovered, opened in May 2013.
HMS Warrior 1860 was brought back home to Portsmouth in 1987, to further add to the collection of historic ships Portsmouth had to offer. As the world’s first iron clad warship, she represented a milestone in shipbuilding when sh was launched in 1860 and never fired a shot in anger.
Harbour Tours represent the chance to see the Historic Dockyard and Naval Base from the water. The trip leaves from Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, heads up to the North West corner of the Naval Base, making a quick stop at Gunwharf Quays before coming back to the Historic Dockyard.
Action Stations opened to the public in 2001 in the historic Boathouse No. 6. This building houses an interactive experience of the modern Royal Navy, including flight simulators, climbing walls and towers amongst many others. A recent addition is a Laser Quest experience, which offers another completely different use of this building
Boathouse 4 is due to open in 2015 as a Boatbuilding and Heritage Skills Centre Alongside an exhibition telling the story of small boats in the Royal Navy, visitors will be able to see traditional boatbuilding skills in action. The nearby Boathouse 5 houses a Historic Boat Workshop, part of the International Boatbuilding Training College.
#Portsmouth Trafalgar Day 2017, HMS Victory
Raising the Colours on HMS Victory yesterday to mark Trafalgar Day. ????????
Hoisting Colours at sunrise was probably not formally introduced in the Royal Navy before the 17th century. In 1844 the time was fixed at 8 a.m. from 25th March to 20th September and 9 a.m. for the rest of the year. The ensign was hoisted earlier or later than these hours when the ship was coming to an anchor, getting under way, passing or meeting another ship, approaching a fort or town, providing there was sufficient light for it to be seen.
Orders for Drake's fleet in 1589 and the Brief Notes of John Young around 1596 show that there was a routine for hoisting the flag in harbour. Anyone absent without leave at the time was deprived of his aftermeal (the second meal of the day).
Following the 1797 mutinies in the British fleet at Spithead, Admiral Lord St. Vincent established the practice in the Senior Service of raising and lowering the Colours - the ensign and jack - at a formal ceremony with the band and guard of the day paraded.
However, flags were certainly taken up and down at dawn and dusk before this, for the simple reason that they were all thought of as signals, and there was no point to fly a signal that no-one could see. This is why ensigns, for example, were not flown out of sight of land unless another ship is nearby.

Review of sailing ships taking part in the review.
Portsmouth Historic Dockyard in August 2017, Victory Gate, HM Naval Base, Portsmouth. England. (15)
Having visited this dockyard in August and September 2017, it brought back many memories for me having sailed out from there in 1963 on H.M.S. Venus to the Azores. I was then a Cook in the Royal Navy serving at H.M.S Ganges in Suffolk. It was a cold winter day then and I was over the side of the ship scrubbing it clean before we sailed. Arriving at the entrance it was a bit disconcerting to see the queues of people waiting to get in. The queue took 40 minutes to allow where I was to arrive at the ticket gate. A bag search told me I was to leave my Monopod with them for safe keeping at the ticket office. This also applies to Tripods for camera equipment so remember this.
The first ship you see is the H.M.S Warrior on the left hand side dock. This ship was the fastest, largest and most powerful warship in the world when she was launched. Such was her reputation that enemy fleets were intimidated by her obvious supremacy and deterred from attacking Britain at sea although she never fired a shot in anger. HMS Warrior was a 40 gun steam powered armoured frigate built for the Royal Navy. She was the name ship of the Warrior-class ironclads. Warrior and her sister ship HMS Black Prince were the first armour-plated, iron-hulled warships, and were built in response to France's launching in 1859 of the first ocean-going ironclad warship, the wooden-hulled Gloire. Warrior conducted a publicity tour of Great Britain in 1863 and spent her active career with the Channel Squadron. On board HMS Warrior which was launched in 1860, Britain’s first iron-hulled, armoured battleship. The ship is powered by steam and sail and was the largest, fastest and most powerful warship of her day and had a lasting influence on naval architecture and design. Work and life on board reflected both the changes the Royal Navy experienced as it evolved into a professional service and shifts in Victorian society.Built to encounter the latest of the French ships, Warrior was, in her time, the ultimate sea warrior. Yet by creating a new era in naval technology, she very soon became outdated. After 22 years’ service, Warrior’s hull was to be used as a depot, floating school and an oil jetty. Painstakingly restored in Hartlepool and then back home to Portsmouth since 1987, Warrior is a unique survivor of the once formidable Victorian Navy and now serves as a museum ship, visitor attraction, popular private hire venue and more. HMS Warrior was rescued in the 1980’s, restored and brought back home to Portsmouth and is owned by Warrior Preservation Trust, an independent charity. Sadly, time has it taken its toll and today she is in a sorry state - her bulwarks, which keep her watertight, have failed and are deteriorating to a point which places her at significant risk.
Next ship I saw was H.M.S. Victory is a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, ordered in 1758, laid down in 1759 and launched in 1765. She is best known for her role as Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. She additionally served as Keppel's flagship at Ushant, Howe's flagship at Cape Spartel and Jervis's flagship at Cape St Vincent. After 1824, she was relegated to the role of harbour ship. In 1922, she was moved to a dry dock at Portsmouth, England, and preserved as a museum ship. She has been the flagship of the First Sea Lord since October 2012 and is the world's oldest naval ship still in commission. This the world’s most famous warship HMS Victory is crumbling under her own weight. An 18-month programme to bring this historic ship back to its original condition. H.M.S. Victory has been sitting in dry dock in Portsmouth since 1922 supported by 22 steel cradles positioned at six metre intervals. It has been well recorded that the 252 year old ship is collapsing ( so to speak ) under her own weight and following a detailed laser scan of 89.25 billion measurements and computer modelling, a new support system has been designed to record how the ship would sit in water.

STORYLINE
An international fleet of warships - from a high-tech aircraft carrier to an 18th-century frigate - moved into position ahead of a mock sea battle on Tuesday to mark 200 years since the key Battle of Trafalgar.
Some 170 ships crowded the waters off Portsmouth on the south coast of England to commemorate Admiral Horatio Nelson's stunning victory over Napoleon Bonaparte's French and Spanish forces - regarded as a turning point in modern European history.
The defeat contributed to Napoleon's eventual downfall and gave Britain naval supremacy for more than 100 years.
Ahead of the mock battle, Queen Elizabeth II, in her role as Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom, reviewed the fleet from aboard the icebreaker HMS Endurance.
The Queen was accompanied by the Admiral of the Fleet, the Duke of Edinburgh.
The fleet included 109 British vessels and 58 ships from 35 other countries.
The 40,000-ton French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle and US amphibious assault ship USS Saipan were among the warships gathered off Portsmouth, along with numerous historic tall ships.
The event was also attended by 57 heads of foreign navies.
The HMS Endurance then anchored, and from its bridge the Queen and Prince Philip watched four war vessels steam past.
Eight tall ships then conducted a sail past, followed by about 300 private yachts, many from sailing clubs around Britain.
The Queen and Prince Philip then departed by royal helicopter for the HMS Invincible, the flagship of Britain's modern day navy, to give a reception for senior naval staff.
The ceremony was watched by thousands of spectators who were treated to a aerobatic display by the Royal Air Force's Red Arrow team.
Celebrations will continue with the mock sea battle involving ten tons of gunpowder and state-of-the-art pyrotechnics, and finish off with a spectacular fireworks display.
