Anthony Roll

The Anthony Roll is an illustrated English fleet directory that was created during the reign of Henry VIII.

Named the Anthony Roll after its creator, Anthony Anthony, an official of the Office stuff. He let make drawings of fifty-eight warships of the king. The full list included three vellum roles that were handed over completed in 1546, Heinrich.

In the 17th century Charles II gave two of the roles Samuel Pepys, which divide them and let bind into a book. It is currently in the Pepys Library of Magdalene College, Cambridge.

The third part remained in their original state. Lady Mary Fox sold it in the 19th century to the British Museum, from which she later went to the British Library, where it is preserved today.

The first part contains the Jesus of Lubeck, the mapping of an assembled at the Travelodge carrack, which was bought by Henry VIII from the Hanseatic city of Lübeck for the Royal Navy and was chartered later under Queen Elizabeth I for the Atlantic slave trade. The Jesus of Lübeck was lost as the flagship of the privateer John Hawkins in clashes with the Spaniards in the port of San Juan de Ulua in Mexico.
