Suggestions made by the King for the restoration of H.M.S. "Victory." Nelson's flagship, are being carried out, This was revealed by Admiral Sir George Hope at the annual meeting of the Society for Nautical Research at the Royal United Services Institution. He said:

the occasion of his visit his Majesty discussed with us our plans to complete the work of restoration, and himself made suggestions which we shall endeavour to put into effect.. For although the work of preservation is complete, the work of restoration is not,

Sir George pointed out that the "Save the Victory" Fund, which was begun in 1922 and realised £75,000, was now exhausted. The Society, how- ever, has raised additional funds, and since they started the work of restora tion and preservation in 1928 are than £10,000 had been spent upon the ship..

Admiralty Approached Lacking further financial resources, yet unwilling to leave the work un finished, they had inquired of the Admiralty whether they did not concur with the Society's opinion that some assistance was duc from Navy Votes in respect of the relief afforded by the payments for preservation made by the Society.
