Old World Trading Admiral''s Line HMS Sovereign of the Seas
At the time of her construction, The Sovereign Of The Seas was considered to be a masterpiece. With a keel length of 127 Feet, a height of 75 feet, and an overall length of 215 feet, she was far and away the largest and most powerful ship in the world. Charles I of England gave the order to build her in 1634. Her completion required the labors of over a thousand craftsmen for three years. In 1637, she sailed with a crew of 800 men, and her 104 guns could fire a broadside of almost two tons of metal. In her first naval engagement in 1652, The Sovereign Of The Seas sank a Dutch Warship with a single broadside. For 60 years she ruled the seas Unmatched.
