In 1415, Henry V's English invasion force was carried across the Channel by 1500 ships and boats, eventually to fight at Agincourt. Henry V built the Jesus, the first ship of 1000 tons, followed by the Grace Dieu of 1400 tons. This book explores the story of the men, ships, operations, and cutting-edge medieval technology of the English fleet, which included both the 'king's ships' and privately-owned vessels.
