HMS Victory fought French and Spanish fleets. It is vital to get the facts correct

I thought you had missed the castle ships, and then there it was in number one.

You missed out on the Mary Rose, it gained historical significance due to its sudden sinking during a battle against a French fleet in 1545, off the coast of Portsmouth. For centuries, the Mary Rose remained at the bottom of the Solent until it was rediscovered and partially raised in 1982. The ship is now a symbol of Tudor maritime power and innovation.

I loved living on a houseboat in California on the Sacramento river, and the people who "boat" are incredibly friendly and kind. I have wanted to live on a boat on the Gulf of Mexico but the hurricanes are sure to hit every year, so it's better not to, even when a hurricane is hitting Louisiana we get very high tides that cause a lot of damage.

The Ming Dynasty Chinese Treasure ships had a max length of 80 feet, not 400 feet, and weren't ocean-going. They had to go along shores and if the wind picked up, had to go in safe harbors. They were incredibly primitive for their time.
