History of the HMS Revenge
HMS Revenge was an English galleon built by Sir John Hawkins in the shipyards of Deptford in 1577. The design had some special characteristics. The ratio between the length and the breadth was narrower, forecastle and sterncastle smaller than typical galleons with low freeboard. These features provided better artillery stability. Under Sir Francis Drake’s command the ship participated in several battles.
