English ship Greyhound (1545)

The English navy ship Greyhound, first built in 1544 or 1545, probably at Deptford, was wrecked in April 1563 on a sand bar near Rye.

[2] In 1553 the Duke of Northumberland, who supported the title of Lady Jane Grey to the crown of England, ordered Captain Gilbert Grice to blockade Yarmouth with the Greyhound to prevent Mary I of England embarking.

The remaining sailors, led by John Hurlocke, declared for Mary and took control of the ship.

Grice owned a blue coat in the Duke of Northumberland's livery colours.

[5] The landing party was repulsed and many troops were drowned attempting to return to the ships, including the commander John Clere.
