History:

Sovereign of the Seas Ship, launched in 1637, was the most powerfully armed ship in the world in its day. It was originally going to have 90 guns, but King Charles I personally insisted that a "great ship" be built for the English Royal Navy, so the Sovereign of the seas 1637 went to sea with 102 bronze guns. Under the republican Commonwealth, she was renamed "Sovereign," only to be rechristened "HMS Royal Sovereign" upon Charles II's restoration.

The Sovereign of the seas interior was the most extravagantly decorated warship in the Royal Navy, completely adorned from stern to bow with gilded carvings. By 1642, her armament had been reduced to 90 guns, yet she remained an exceptionally large vessel for the English navy until 1655. It was destroyed by fire in 1697 in Chatham.

Comment: There were a couple of issues. Ding on the keel, but luckily backside. They do a great job with the wooden crate, but the 2cnd mast had it tip broken off (broke at the base, shown in pics with circle around it). Now, they take the 3rd's off and have you glue/friction fit that one on your own. Which great thinking as it's the tallest. My suggestion would be to pack the 2cnd mast tip in plastic as well. Gorilla glue took care of it in my case, but I'm used to modeling. I'm not sure everyone is. I think this would save a lot of headaches in the future. As for the ship itself, it's really nice. The cannons aren't lined up, but you can never get those guys on the gundecks to fall in line anyways :P Oh, it's about 9.5-10" wide anchor tip to anchor tip. Don't let that stop you though. The ship is beautiful. I'll update with some detailed pictures soon. Very nice ship for the money, and don't let the mast tip thing scare you. Easy fix. The FYI the HMS Sovereign of the seas was launched in 1637 (construction started in 1634) and was England's fastest ship at the time holding the record at 22 knots. She was a beast!
