The "Sovereign of the sea", a masterpiece which
can be considered at least 150 years ahead of its time with
the length of 127 feet and width of 48 feet. It's the ship
which Charles I wanted in the year 1634. Three years later
it was launched and its ornaments which represent imaginary
portraits and many heraldic coat-of-arms were so splendid
that the Dutch called it the "Golden Devil". The
end of the "Sovereign of the sea" was not due to
war action. It caught fire as a result of an overturned candle
in 1696 on the Medway River. The "Sovereign of the sea"
was certainly the most perfect and extraordinary model ever
built by a man.
