LANTERN SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS [?]   Unknown Unknown     1900   after   1 BASE STAINED DARK BROWN & VARNISHED/ BROWN WOOD STRIP HULL/ BLACK PAINTED GUNS PULLEYS BARRELS ETC./ RED PAINTED GUN PART COVERS/ BROWN ROPES & RIGGING     An example of an early English warship. This was a type of sailing warship developed out of a desire for a vessel which could hold much artillery and still be a capable (fully-rigged) sailing ship. Its superstructures were reduced considerably from that of the Carrack and further reduced from that of the Galleon. However aspects of the Galleon may be seen in this vessel such as the beak low forecastle and poop rising in steps. The reduction in superstructure reduced its draft and made it easier to handle. However there were still problems (see below) as the Sovereign was supposedly the largest and most heavily armed vessel built to that date with 100 guns. The "royals" which were probably set only while the vessel was on parade were first used on this vessel and hence their name ["Royal Sovereign" after rebuilding in 1659]. It was also the most lavishly decorated with ornamentation designed by Van Dyck and its stern was round up until about 10 feet above the water line. Before this time all British as well as other European ships were built with a flat transom.
