Comments
Coin 4 of 5: The 17th and 18th centuries
are represented by a Man-O'-War and a soldier of the Civil War period. The ship is based on the "Sovereign of the Seas" built for King Charles I in 1637. She was of 1,522 tons, with a keel length of 127 feet and a beam of 48 1/2 feet. The Isle of Man played a conspicuous part in the Civil War. James, Earl of Derby and Lord of Man, was captured after the Battle of Worcester in 1651 and executed at Bolton. His wife continued to hold the Island in the name of King Charles II till Man was betrayed to the Commonwealth by William Christian (Illiam Dhone). At the Restoration in 1660 the Derby family returned to power and took their revenge on William Christian who was found guilty of treason and shot at Hango Mount near Castletown in 1661.
