Description
English: "The Victory's" Anchor, on Southsea Beach. Illustration for The Illustrated London News, 18 March 1854.

THE "VICTORY'S" ANCHOR, ON SOUTHSEA BEACH. THIS very interesting memorial attracted much attention during last week, when so many thousands assembled at Portsmouth to witness the departure of the Baltic Fleet. The Victory's Anchor is placed upon a pedestal upon the beach at Southsea, as related in the following inscription: Close to this spot embarked the HERO OF THE NILE, Alas or the last time, to take command of the British Fleet, That fought and conquered At TRAFALGAR, where our NELSON fell. This tribu:e of respect is placed in humble admiration of the departed Hero by LORD FREDERICK FITZCLARENCE, Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth. 1852.
