I was on this replica when it was moored at Alexandria, Virginia several years ago. Magnificent, beautiful, but so small. Even in the captain’s cabin I couldn’t stand up, and I’m 5-10.

There is a raised wooden plaque with a brass plate inscribed “Nelson fell here” on the deck of the Victory.
I can’t say I’m surprised, I tripped over it myself..
