A ship of the King's Fleet in the 16th century, and in her day the largest warship in the world. Contemporary with Mary Rose, Henry Grace à Dieu was even larger, and served as Henry VIII's flagship. The French name translates as "Henry, Thanks be to God".
Built in Old Woolwich. Accidentally destroyed at Woolwich by fire in 1553.
