Launch of Henry Grace à Dieu

Date: June 13, 1514 • Location: Barking, United Kingdom

Henry Grace à Dieu, the largest warship ever built at the time, was launched from Woolwich Dockyard, England.

Henry Grace à Dieu, also known as Great Harry, was an English carrack or "great ship" of the King's Fleet in the 16th century, and in her day the largest warship in the world. Contemporary with Mary Rose, Henry Grace à Dieu was even larger, and served as Henry VIII's flagship.
