It was built by Peter Pett (later a Commissioner of the Navy), under the guidance of his father Phineas, the King’s master shipwright, and was launched at Woolwich dockyard on October 13, 1637. As the second three-decked first-rate (the first three-decker being Prince Royal of 1610), she was the predecessor of Nelson’s Victory. She was the most extravagantly decorated warship in the Royal Navy, completely adorned from stern to bow with gilded carvings against a black background. In those days the price of an average warship. Sovereign became leaky and defective with age during the reign of William III, and was laid up at Chatham, ignominiously ending her days by being burnt to the water line as a result of having been set on fire either by accident, negligence or design. The Sergal Kit of the Sovereign Features: A double plank on frame hull construction Clearly drawn plans English instructions Lost wax brass castings Walnut and limewood (basswood) hull planking Wooden masts and spars Brass and walnut fittings, etched brass details, rigging cord and silk flags.
