Prince Royal Museum Quality Replica Ship

The Prince, launched at Chatham in 1670, was one of the finest English 1st rate ships of the seventeenth century. She was a successor to the famous Royal Sovereign and was designed by Phineas Pett the younger who had worked with his father on the construction of the Royal Sovereign. She was a large ship, with a burden of 1,463 tons and a keel length of 131 feet (39.93m). She carried a wartime complement of 780 men and was armed with 100 guns, ranging from the 42 pdr. (19.05kg) cannon on the lower gun deck to the 3 pdrs. The service career of the Prince began in 1672 when she carried the flag of the Duke of York, then Lord High Admiral of England and later King James II at the battle of Solebay, in the Third Dutch war. The battle ended in an English victory but in the action the Prince was so badly damaged that the Duke temporarily shifted his flag. The Captain of the Fleet, Sir John Cox, was killed on board in the course of the engagement. The Prince survived until 1692 when she was broken up and as much of her timber as could be salvaged was used in the building of the Royal William.
