HMS Dreadnought (1573)

HMS Dreadnought (1573)

HMS "Dreadnought" was a 41-gun galleon of the English Royal Navy, launched in 1573. "Dreadnought" was part of the English fleet that fought the Spanish Armada.

She was rebuilt for the first time in 1592, and again at Deptford in 1614 as a middling ship of 32 guns.

"Dreadnought" was broken up in 1648.

There is a non-floating reproduction of the Dreadnought built by Mike Breza at the Bristol Renaissance Faire in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Though on the faire grounds it is entirely owned by Mr. Breza. The ship appears on the cover of Bounding Main's CD, 'Going Overboard.'
