Sovereign of the seas(Lord of the Seas) left the slipway of the Woolwich shipyard in 1637. This ship was the pinnacle of shipbuilding art of its time. For the first time in history, she had three battery decks, the decoration was designed and executed by the best professionals in England. The entire ornament and the richest decorations, the figurehead and carvings were lined with real gold. In 1650
Sovereign of the Seas became simply Sovereign, and in 1675 the ship was renamed Royal Sovereign. The ship took part in the Anglo-Dutch Wars and was the flagship of Admiral Robert Blake. Participated in such famous battles as Kentish Knock, Beachy Head, Barfleur and La Hog. For his combat power, he was nicknamed the Golden Devil (den Gulden Duvel) by his enemies. For 60 years, no one has been able to sink this giant. But in 1696, from a candle left by a cook, the ship burned down in Chatheim. Whether it was an accident or arson, we will never know...

"Lord of the Seas" (Sovereign of the Seas) nicknamed "Golden Death".
The Sovereign of de Cise (its other name is the “Lord of the Seas”) was built by order of King Charles I. The ship was designed and built by the chief shipbuilder of the English fleet, Phineas Pett, and left the slipway in 1637 from the shipyards in the city of Woolrich (on the Thames ). Many consider this ship as the pinnacle of shipbuilding art of its time. The cost was enormous, about ten times the price of an average 40-gun injector frigate. For the first time in the history of shipbuilding, the ship had three battery decks, located one above the other, but the lower one was located above the waterline itself, so the gun ports could not be opened in stormy weather. The artwork was designed by Thomas Heywood and executed by John and Matthias Chrismas for a total cost of £6,691.
Above the waterline, it was painted only in two colors - black and gold. The entire ornament and the richest decorations, the nose figure and the carving were lined with real gold! This led to the ship being nicknamed the "Golden Devil". Enemy sailors (and this ship actively participated in the hostilities against the Dutch fleet) nicknamed this giant "Golden Death".
It was the first three-deck ship of the line with a displacement of approximately 1530 tons. Its main dimensions are as follows: the length along the battery deck is 53 m (along the keel 42.7 m), the maximum width is 15.3 m, the depth of the hold is 6.1 m. It had three battery decks : in the lower - 30 cannons (cannons and semi-cannons), in the middle - the same number (culverins and semi-culverins), in the upper - 26 cannons of a smaller caliber; in addition, there are 14 cannons under the forecastle, 12 under the poop and many embrasures in superstructures for handguns.
The total number of guns on this ship was 126. The ship had 11 anchors with appropriate anchor lines; the largest anchor weighed 4,400 pounds. It was a real giant among other sailing ships of that time - in size it almost did not differ from the three-deck ship of the early 19th century. "Lord of the Seas" was painted black with gold sculptural decorations.
This ship was repeatedly reconstructed and changed its appearance: the aft superstructures were reduced, the forecastle and aft floor deck were shortened, the rigging was significantly changed, the fourth, so-called bonaventure mast, was removed. The total sail area was subjected to further fragmentation to the fourth tier - bom-bram-rai. The "Lord of the Seas" remained unsinkable for 60 years until it burned down in Chatham in 1696 ... from a candle not extinguished by a cook. The many years of service of this ship testifies to its durability; it was built of oak, while in other countries ships were built mostly from pine. The decks went smoothly, without breaks and ledges, as was the case before, which gave the ship a solid fortress.
The French also began to decorate their ships: the Soleil Royal (Royal Sun), launched under Louis XIV, resembled three floors of lodges at the Opéra with its stern; on the stern of the "Monarch", built in 1670, there were 27 carved figures taller than human height. But real sailors did not approve of excessive craving for embellishment; other indicators were more important for them.

The history of the ship "Lord of the Seas"
The ship "Lord of the Seas" is the beginning of a new stage in the development of the Royal Navy. Powerful and armed with a large number of different-caliber guns, the ships controlled not only the water border of Britain, but also guaranteed the safe movement of merchant ships and dignitaries in all seas.
After the ship was launched and its firepower was assessed, the giant ships began to actively replenish the ranks of the British navy. And it is not surprising, because the weight or displacement of the ship was more than 1500 tons, and the number of fire guns was 102 units. These incredible parameters made the ship the most formidable and majestic ship of the 16th century. It is worth noting that the “Lord of the Seas” was not only of unprecedented size, but also distinguished by its sophistication and beauty. Wealth was inherent in each individual element: artistic hand-carving, precious woods, gilding, modern firepower.

History of the ship SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS (Lord of the Seas)
SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS was a 17th century British warship that was the pinnacle of naval construction of its time. The decision to start work on its creation was made on the royal initiative, despite the resistance of skeptics who claimed that there was no port in all of England that could provide him with shelter. was dropped from the stock. Along with the power, the ship was distinguished by a bizarre exterior finish, where gilded carvings shone luxuriously against a black background. Here it is necessary to mention the nasal figure and a number of decorations created from real gold. For the first time in the history of shipbuilding, one ship had three battery decks at once, and the number of guns in total was 102 pieces, and we were talking about the most powerful guns of the era. Subsequently, this number was reduced to 90 units, in an effort to improve the seaworthiness of the vessel.
Already from the first days of service, the ship demonstrated its capabilities to the opponents, and was nicknamed by them the "Golden Death". During this period, England began to actively challenge the naval power of Holland, which was reflected in three wars between these countries, and the “Lord of the Seas” took a direct part in all of them. Despite all the efforts made by the Dutch, nothing could harm him. Then the British, already in alliance with the Dutch, fought against the French in a conflict called the "War of the Augsburg League." Here the battleship had to face off against the huge French ships, and she passed the test with honor. In the end, the French fleet was well beaten in two battles, and in each of them the "Lord of the Seas" played a prominent role. By 1691, the ship was considered obsolete, but despite this, it remained in the fleet. Ironically, the ship, which the enemies failed to destroy, died from the oversight of the boatswain, who left a lit candle. The ship burned out completely, and whether it was sabotage or stupidity, history is silent.

The dream not of the sea, but of a ship with a legendary history brought an enthusiast from Moscow to the Crimea. On Cape Meganom, between Feodosia and Sudak, recently you can see the outlines of a giant sailboat - an exact copy of an old British ship. The one who builds it, and alone, is called both a romantic and an adventurer. He calls himself Captain Scaletto. And his "Lord of the Seas" has already become a local landmark.
Meganom is a mystical, sacred place, covered with legends and sung in the work of Osip Mandelstam. Many believe that under this rock is the kingdom of the dead, others see the ghost of a boy jumping from a cliff from the sea, and still others say: they noticed unidentified flying objects above this cape. Therefore, when the silhouette of a ship of the 17th century appeared here, no one was really surprised.
In the sea of secrets and mysteries around Meganom, there is one less. The ghost ship really exists. And it's not a mirage.
“The figurehead of this ship is King Edgar the Peaceful, who in the 7th century united the seven kingdoms in England, and under him the defeated kings,” says Victor Scaletto.
In his hands is the "Lord of the Seas" - a model of the British battleship of 1637. And he calls himself simply - Captain Scaletto. For the sake of his dream of owning his own ship, Victor gave up his career as a designer and three years ago moved from Moscow to an almost deserted bay on the eastern coast of Crimea.
“I make it according to all the rules of shipbuilding, even with a large margin of buoyancy. The original was made of oak, it took two thousand oaks to make it, and it weighed 1,700 tons along with the guns. This ship was made by 300 people within two years,” Scaletto continues the story.
This idea was born during another trip. I remember doing modeling as a child. But what exactly to aim at - there were no questions. I decided that the old English sailboat, which became a model for the largest warships of that time, would definitely not leave anyone indifferent.
He built his shipyard right on the beach. He single-handedly weaves the hull of a 70-meter sailboat from fiberglass reinforcement and fills it with monolithic fiber-reinforced concrete. According to Captain Scaletto's calculations, his ship would be stronger and almost half as light as a wooden one.
To recreate a copy of the British battleship, Victor sold an apartment in the center of Moscow, and then a car. But the money was only enough to build two of the six decks. Romance had to spend the winter on a ship.
Scaletto plans to complete the ship of his dreams at the expense of tourists who come here on excursions in the summer. The ghost ship is open for quests and themed discos.
“But tourists leave me such notes in a bottle: “Dear pirate, a Spaniard writes to you, I have never seen anything more masterpiece than your ship in my life, you have a dream, it’s super, see you on deck,” says Victor Scaletto.
The “Lord of the Seas”, which has become a tourist attraction, Viktor admits, is unlikely to be able to cut through the waves of the Black Sea. It is impossible to register a ship built by an amateur almost by eye. For those who still want to go on sea voyages, Captain Scaletto promises to build a smaller ship - but also with history. The prototype can be the French ship "La Caron" by Cardinal Richelieu - also the middle of the 17th century.
