EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the grandeur and tragedy of the Great Harry, a capital ship built at His Majesty's Dockyard at Woolwich during the reign of King Henry VIII in 1514. The intricate details of this engraving, created by Thomas Allen after Hans Holbein the Younger, bring to life the majesty of this historic vessel.
However, as history tells us, negligence led to the destruction of the Great Harry on August 27th, 1553, in the first year of Queen Mary's reign. This event marked a somber chapter in maritime history and serves as a reminder of the fragility of even the mightiest ships.
The artist Pierre Charles Canot expertly captured both the beauty and tragedy of this momentous event in his engraving. The size and scale depicted in this print evoke a sense of awe and respect for these magnificent vessels that once ruled the seas.
As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to a time when wooden ships sailed across vast oceans, carrying nations' hopes and dreams. The legacy of ships like the Great Harry lives on through art such as this print, preserving their memory for future generations to admire and learn from.
