POP... Never been called that before lol. I got the info from that show on Discovery last year... I think it was called Treasure quest...

I would really love to be able to buy one of the ship of the lines, but even better, you could do a really hard quest for it.

It was never a treasure ship, nor was she sunk.
I am guessing there were multiple HMS Victories because I am sure of this info, but it would still be a great name.

Well, either you confused the Victory with another ship, or else the Discovery Channel did it wrong. I can send you links (or you can just look them up) to the Victory's web page, where there is tons of true historic fact about the HMS Victory.

Although there may be other ships called "Victory" there is only one HMS Victory. It is the most honored ship in British Naval history.
