Unbelievable Recovery: Lifting the HMS Victory from the Deep Sea Hms Victory Restoration War Relics Hidden for over 200 years in the dark depths of the deep sea, the legendary HMS Victory has finally been brought back to the surface. This video documents the most ambitious marine salvage operation in history and the initial stages of restoring a giant of the Royal Navy that time forgot. Witness the heart-stopping moment this historical 104-gun warship is recovered using massive industrial barges and hydraulic lift bags.
