EDITORS COMMENTS
The Great Harry, man of war, the largest ship in the world during the reign of Henry VIII, c1857. Artist: T Sherratt This print showcases 'The Great Harry, ' also known as Henry Grace a Dieu, which reigned as the largest ship in the world during King Henry VIII's era.

Contrasting this magnificent vessel is HMS Royal Albert, a 131-gun ship launched at Woolwich in 1854. The juxtaposition allows us to appreciate how maritime technology evolved over centuries.
