Note 621 — Chapter XIII

The same names of ships, and the place of their construction (then called Hampton), are given in the “Dominion of the Sea,” as preserved in Hakluyt, vol. i. See also the Chronicle of the Church of the Holy Trinity at Winchester, in which, too, is a notice of the action off Harfleur A.D. 1416. Sir H. Nicolas, quoting from the “Issue Roll” of Henry V., states that 496l. was paid at Southampton for the “Holy Ghost,” and 500l. for the “Grâce Dieu;” but this could have been only a portion of the real cost of these ships. (Hist. Roy. Navy, ii. 406.)
