Description:
For educational purposes<br/><br/>The story of the Spanish Armada of 1588 is a gripping account of one of the greatest naval battles in maritime history. <br/><br/>Infuriated by continued English support for the revolt against Spanish rule in the Netherlands and by the recent raid on the harbour of Cadiz by Sir Francis Drake, Phillip II.<br/><br/>Then at the height of his military power, built a huge Armada for the express purpose of seizing control of the English Channel and launching an invasion of Britain. <br/><br/>It would prove to be a humiliating disaster, ruined and defeated by a combination of brilliant British seamanship and the appalling weather that the English Channel is justly famous for, detailing the famous drubbing received by Philip II of Spain's Armada at the hands of Sir Francis Drake. <br/><br/>Historians such as John Tincey offer their insights into the battle, which was won through a culmination of fine seamanship by Drake and appalling weather in the English Channel. <br/><br/>Also included are modern-day reconstructions and footage of the Golden Hinde and the Mary Rose museum.
