HMS Victory: New support structure will enable visitors to walk beneath ship

The video discusses the initial dry docking of HMS Victory, which was supported by steel cradles. Over time, these cradles caused the ship to sag due to the lack of natural seawater forces. To address this, a new support system with 134 props was introduced to better replicate the natural conditions and support the hull effectively.
