"holigost" was the second of the four "great ships" commissioned by henry v. she was originally a castillian ship, "santa clara", which was captured in 1413–14 and subsequently rebuilt. "holigost" "joined the royal fleet" on 17 november 1415. she saw action in at least two battles during the hundred years' war. she participated in a naval battle off harfleur in 1416. following repairs to damage received there, she participated in a battle off saint-denis-chef-de-cove in 1417. "holigost" was withdrawn from service in 1422 - the year of henry's death - and laid up in the river hamble, southamptonshire. repairs made in 1423 by davy owen may be the earliest recorded use of a diver in ship repair in england. it is believed that she eventually sank in the hamble due to a lack of maintenance.
