Prowed Memorial

By pamelajean
I thought about presenting this as a “What Is It?” but don’t like teasing you.
Anyway, some of you might find that my enigmatic title gives you a clue.
Did you guess?

It’s the prow or bow of HMS Victory, standing proud in her home of No.2 drydock in Portsmouth Dockyard, Hampshire.
Built between 1759-1765, the Royal Navy’s most famous warship, and Admiral Nelson’s flagship, triumphant at the Battle Of Trafalgar in 1805.

There is very little about this ship that is straight or symmetrical, but I tried.

Pamela.

A very good semi-abstract, Pamela, like the almost symmetry.

Yes, I guessed within a few seconds, and before reading your write-up! Wink A great viewpoint and close-up capture, Pamela, makes a good abstract Smile

Top class capture and an original POV considering how often this ship must have been pictured.
