 This is the flagship of Henry V built in the ealy 15th century. It was the biggest warship of its time and the first to be armed with cannons. However, she saw little action: on her first voyage the crew mutinied. In 1439 she caught fire and sank at her moorings on the River Hamble ------------- Me Grimlock not nice Dino! Me bash brains! |

Remarkable considering what should have been the devastation of the water and corrosive, if not acidic natures, of tidal rivers connecting to the sea. ------------- "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" S.
