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.
