English Ships and the Spanish Armada, August 1588 by the English School, 16th century. Repro ID: BHC0262. Copyright: National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London. Presented by Sir James Caird, 1947. Armada is the Spanish word for a fleet. In 1588, 'la felicissima armada', or 'the most fortunate fleet' was made up of 150 ships, mainly Spanish, but with some from Portugal and Naples. At the time, it was the largest fleet ever seen in Europe and Philip II of Spain considered it invincible. A detailed description of the fleet was published in Europe with the aim of causing fear among Spain's enemies.
