Victory would sink if put on the sea.
Over time, repairs have been carried out to maintain her appearance, but not her seaworthyness. In many places, soft wood has replaced hardwood and no effort has been made to ensure she is structurally sound or water tight.
Victory would likely sink in the dry dock before the tug could take her anywhere. There has been no effort made to make her float. Hull repairs done over the last few decades have not been made water tight.
