Salvaged sections of HMS Victory recovered during her refit in 1922.
Here you can see two types of wood and copper pin heads from HMS Victory, the wood to the left of shot is Teak from the orlop deck the piece to the right of shot is Oak from the superstructure.
The Orlop deck, was the place where men wounded in battle were taken for treatment, probably meaning amputation of shattered limbs. All surgery was conducted without anaesthetics and without disinfectants etc. The only options were to give a man neat rum so that he rapidly became drunk or, if the rum ran out, giving him a piece of rope to bite on! Once a limb was removed, the stump was dipped in hot pitch to seal and cauterise the wound. Admiral Nelson had his right arm amputated when he was hit in the elbow at Tenerife in 1797.
These pictures show daggers made from the Oak of HMS Victory.
