GRACE DIEU and the possible site of the HOLIGOST

The National Heritage List for England records GRACE DIEU and the possible site of the HOLIGOST as a protected wreck. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The *GRACE DIEU* was a 15th-century English warship that sank in 1439 near Southampton, likely due to a fire on board; it was lost with all hands, taking an estimated 500 crew and passengers, along with significant military cargo. The wreck is historically significant as one of the earliest known examples of a purpose-built English warship.
