 The most notable ship built during this era was HMS "Grace Dieu", the flagship of King Henry V. She was built in 1418 by William Soper, a burgess of Southampton and clerk of the king's ships, in a dock built for the purpose near Watergate Quay.This quay, dating from 1411 on the site now occupied by Town Quay, was the centre of the town's port activities.She was more than long, with a displacement of around 2,750 tons (tonnes) (making her similar in size but different in appearance from HMS "Victory").
