I hate to correct you, but the HMS Victory was the flagship of the English fleet. Lord Admiral Nelson died on board, in the Battle of Trafalgar. It is currently on display at the shipyard in Portsmouth England. It is still the "flagship" of the Commander-in-Chief of Naval Home Command. I have been on board her a couple of times.
It was never a treasure ship, nor was she sunk.
