Summary[edit]
| Description |
This is actually a detail from a painting owned by the National Maritime Museum, London, it's A generic ship from the time of Charles I of England, before 1649, and is attributed to Tobias Flessiers. It's not named as the Lions Whelp. What follows is the original imaginary description given by the uploader: Historical print of the English pinnace "Lions Whelp" which the Duke of Buckingham ordered for himself in 1628. Lion's Whelp was built by Wm Castell of St. Savior's Southwark as a privateer, with all proceeds directed to the Duke's war chest. She joined the Royal Fleet for the final attempt to relieve the siege of La Rochelle. After the Duke of Buckingham was assassinated in 1632, she was taken into the Royal Fleet. "Lion's Whelp" was a three masted pinnace of about 140 tons, lightly armed with one gun deck with grating (or flying deck) over the waist, and eight broadside gun ports. Equipped with sweeps (3-man oars), the "Lion's Whelp" exemplified auxiliary oared warships of the Tudor and Royal Navies from Henry VIII's reign to that of Charles II. | ||
