EDITORS COMMENTS
HMS Royal William, also known as HMS Prince, was a majestic 100-gun first rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built at Deptford Dockyard under the skilled supervision of Phineas Pett the Younger. Launched in 1670, this magnificent vessel was an engineering marvel of the time, boasting an impressive armament and sleek design. The HMS Royal William served as a flagship for the Lord High Admiral, the Duke of York, later James II & VII. The Duke, who was also the brother of King Charles II, played a pivotal role in the English Navy during the late 17th century. This print captures the HMS Royal William in all its glory as it sets sail on the open sea. The intricate details of the ship's design are on full display, from the ornate carvings adorning the hull to the towering masts and sails that billow in the wind. The ship's impressive gun batteries are also visible, a testament to its formidable firepower. The HMS Royal William saw action in several significant naval battles, most notably the Battle of Solebay in 1672. During this battle, the English and Dutch fleets clashed in the North Sea, with the English emerging victorious. The HMS Royal William played a crucial role in the English victory, demonstrating its value as a powerful and effective warship. This print is a stunning reminder of the rich maritime history of England and the impressive naval vessels that once dominated the seas. The HMS Royal William, with its impressive size, firepower, and historical significance, remains an enduring symbol of the Royal Navy's proud past.
