own defence; the Royal Navy being still in its infancy, a matter of no great importance, as the difference between an armed merchantman and a man-of-war was at that period practically negligible.

Invasion Imminent. Henry VIII. carried on the work of building up a navy. In 1515 the Henry Grace de Dieu, a five-masted vessel, the largest ship then afloat, was launched in the Thames, and by 1539, when an invasion of Britain was imminent, the Royal Navy bad in commission of 150 ships.

In this reign a Navy Board was formed for the organisation and ad ministration of H.M. Fleet, and Trinity House was founded for the supply of trained pilots with power to make "all and singular articles in any wise concerning the science and art of mariners."

Britain became a maritime state under Henry, and in the reign of Elizabeth her

growing naval

..

strength was put to the test.

The defeat of the Armada in 1588 was the climax, of the work of Elizabethan seamen, with the re sult, to quote Seely: "Here begins the modern history of England."

The Ground-Work.

The activities of the British rulers in the 18th. century were the ground-work for the preparation of Empire expansion.

籍

Here was the beginning of Navy and the formation of trading companies for the establishment of commercial relations with various parts of the non-European world.

The 17th century saw riso on this foundation the structure of an empire which, by the end of the 19th. century, was to become world wide.

Britain now, if not mistress of the sens, was sufficiently powerful to ronder trade routes safe for her shipping and protect and sustain any settlers who might be enter ptising enough to seek homes in new countries, `--`

Prior to this period, although 23rd July Britain's geographical position was the centre of the ocean world, she was only a third-rate sea power, picking up the scraps of overseas trade on the sufferance of those 23rd July - nations, who were, her superiors, in

naval development.

These plantations produced silk, rise, Indigo and wheat for home consumption, to bacco for export.

At first they had no shipping so the export trade was carried in British bottoms, which, in return, imported arms and ammunition, together with the luxurles and nécessities of life, while the Navy by ita activities in, other parts of the world, secured the colonists from
