HMS Victory Photo
File. We thought we would share with our visitors some of the
terrific photos of the classic warship HMS Victory we have in our
possession. Over 150 hi-res photos were taken by Ivan during
research for his various paintings including HMS Victory. Being a
regular visitor to the ship at this time, he applied for and was granted
special access to areas usually off limits to the public. The
photos below are a selection of the best photos taken. All photos
are copyright of Ivan Berryman, but he hopes displaying them here will
be of use to other artists or model makers working on the Victory who
are not lucky enough to be able to visit this historic ship in person.
Before
a recent move to Scotland, Ivan Berryman lived and worked in Ryde, Isle
of Wight. As most of our visitors will know, this is just a
short ferry ride from the oldest serving ship in the Royal Navy - HMS
Victory - permanently preserved in dry dock at Portsmouth Historic
Dockyard. The photos shown here were taken by Ivan in about 2001
to 2003 on various separate occasions. The first shows the
advantage of taking high resolution shots for such a research
project. Details of the multitude of rigging can be picked out
from the photos very easily.
