Ships of the Spanish Armada

The ships of the Spanish Armada were large, well-armed sailing vessels built in the late 16th century to invade England. They included various types like galleons and other warships, designed for both combat and transportation. The Armada's ships carried soldiers, cannons, and supplies, aiming to establish Spanish dominance. However, in 1588, the English navy's tactics and weather conditions challenged the Armada, leading to its defeat. This fleet's ships symbolize a major naval effort by Spain during the Age of Exploration, showcasing their maritime power and the importance of naval technology and strategy in warfare.
