EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the historic Ark Royal, a sailing vessel built by Raleigh in 1587, originally named the Ark Raleigh. The ship gained notoriety when it was purchased by Queen Elizabeth I in 1590 and was subsequently renamed Ark Royal. This renaming marked a significant moment in maritime history, as the Ark Royal became one of the Queen's most trusted and iconic ships. The Ark Royal, with its majestic sails billowing in the wind, was a sight to behold on the open sea. Its sturdy construction, built by the skilled craftsmen of Raleigh's shipyard, made it a formidable vessel that could withstand the rigors of long voyages and harsh weather conditions. The ship's history is rich with intrigue and adventure. It was used to transport supplies and troops to various destinations, including the New World, where it played a crucial role in England's colonial expansion. The Ark Royal also saw action in several naval battles, earning a reputation as a reliable and effective warship. Despite its storied past, the Ark Royal's legacy was not without its challenges. The ship was renamed Anne Royal in 1596, marking another chapter in its history. Nevertheless, the Ark Royal remained an enduring symbol of England's maritime prowess and its commitment to exploration and expansion. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the sea was a vast and largely unexplored frontier, and ships like the Ark Royal played a critical role in shaping the world as we know it today.
