'Henry Grace a' Dieu' - With Henry and his courtiers from Greenwich as witness, the greatest Tudor ship was launched on June 13, 1514. Nicknamed 'Great Harry', at between 1,000 and 1,500 tons she was graced with five decks and more than 200 hundred bronze and iron cannons. An inventory for her shows that she was meant to carry 400 soldiers, 260 sailors, and 40 gunners. In 1545, Henry was aboard when the French fleet came into sight. Quickly leaving her decks, Henry was put ashore to watch the oncoming confrontation. 'Great Harry' acquitted herself well, although another of Henry's vessels went to the bottom... the 'Mary Rose'. In 1553, while at her berth in Woolwich, the 'Henry Grace a' Dieu' caught fire and sank.
