HMS Victory brassware are among many that celebrate affection for the vessel that won the Battle of Trafalgar and that were manufactured to celebrate the Battle of Trafalgar centenary in 1905. However, the big impetus for the production of brass souvenirs started when the public imagination was fired with enthusiasm in 1922 and thereafter, and the production of mementos, particularly replicas of the ship, was revived when she was placed in her permanent dry dock in Portsmouth Historic Naval Dockyard (England).
