The HMS Victory  at Trafalgar is a work of art which has seen significant world wide attention.

The United States Sailing Association (the national governing body for the sport of sailing) presented a giclee print as a major award to Tom Hubbell at the Associations Spring Meeting on March 17, 2006.   Tom Hubbell spearheaded the reorganization of US SAILING and the by laws changes approved on Oct 12, 2005 the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar.  Both events had a part in reshaping the future of sailing.  Shown in the picture to the right, is Janice Baxter, President of US SAILING presenting the picture to Tom Hubbell. 





A number of artists have also produced unauthorized copies of the painting.  None of R.C. Moore's works are can be reproduced or copied without his permission. 

The painting was copied and flipped horizontally and used on stamps for the Countries of Moldavia and St Vincent's and the Grenadines.  It should be noted that by flipping the painting horizontally, the direction of sail of the French Line and wind direction were changed and the images lost their historical accuracy.  During the battle, as the British approached, the French line sailed from right to left and the wind direction was off the HMS Victory's starboard bow. 


Artists have also been found to paint similar paintings (see picture to the right).
 

An unauthorized copy of the painting was even sold on E-Bay as a ceramic tile (shown on the left).
