The Sovereign of the Seas, commanded by King Charles I Stuart of England, was an emblematic warship of its time. Launched in 1637, here is a more detailed presentation of this ship:

Architectural innovation: The Sovereign of the Seas was considered to be one of the first warships genuinely designed according to a specific architectural plan, rather than simply adapted from existing models. She was also adorned with elaborate carvings and extravagant decorations, making her a symbol of British royal power.

Impressive dimensions: In her day, the Sovereign of the Seas was one of the largest and most powerful warships in the world. She had three full decks and a large gun-carrying capacity, making her an imposing force on the oceans.


Armament: The ship was equipped with more than 100 cannons spread over three decks, making her one of the most heavily armed warships of her time. This firepower made her a formidable tool on the naval battlefield.

Symbolic significance: The Sovereign of the Seas was not just a functional warship, she also served to project the power and prestige of the English crown. The sumptuous decorations and elaborate details testified to the grandeur and refinement of the monarchy. He certainly owned one of the most lavishly decorated back castles of his time.

Heritage: The Sovereign of the Seas is considered a turning point in the history of shipbuilding, as she introduced architectural innovations and design techniques that influenced later shipbuilding. Despite her short operational career as a warship, she left an indelible mark on naval history and remains an emblematic example of the relationship between the navy, royal power and art in the Stuart era.
