English ship Merhonour (1590)

The Merhonour[Note 2] was a ship of the Tudor navy of England.

It was built in 1590 by Mathew Baker at Woolwich Dockyard, and was rebuilt by Phineas Pett I at Woolwich between 1612 and 1615, being re-launched on 6 March 1615 as a 40-gun Royal Ship (or First rate).

She was nevertheless considered at that time to be one of the fastest ships in the Navy.

[1] The Merhonour was sold out of the navy in 1650 by the Commonwealth of England.
