The Sovereign of the Seas: The Most Expensive Warship of the 1600s

In 1637, England launched one of the most ambitious and extravagant naval projects of the 17th century: the Sovereign of the Seas. Commissioned by King Charles I and designed by famed shipbuilder Phineas Pett, this grand vessel was not just a warship—it was a floating palace symbolizing British naval power.

At over 100 guns and adorned with gilded sculptures, the Sovereign of the Seas was the most expensive warship ever built at the time. Its stunning ornamentation and formidable firepower made it both a marvel of maritime engineering and a symbol of royal authority.

Today, you can own a faithful, handcrafted replica of this legendary ship. Our Sovereign of the Seas Wooden Model captures its grandeur with intricate rigging, brass cannons, and lavish stern decorations.
