A crane begins the process of removing the main lower mast from HMS Victory at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard in Portsmouth
The artefact was removed over the course of three days so experts can carry out "essential" conservation work. It's part of a 20-year conservation project for the warship, which is based at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.The mast will be analysed to determine whether the other two also need to be removed for similar conservation work
