[208] The Phœnix and the George are first mentioned as royal ships in Anthony’s list of 1546; probably merchantmen of those names in the list of 10th Aug. 1545, and bought into the service.
[209] The Antelope, Tiger, Bull and Hart first occur in Anthony’s list of the navy in 1546; in that year (Letters and Papers, Mar. 1546, uncalendared) there were ‘the four new ships a making at Deptford 1000 tons,’ with which tonnage these correspond.

The Spanish ship ton, or ‘tonelada de arqueo,’ was rather smaller than the English; ‘esta tonelada de arqueo es un espacio de 8 codos cúbicos cada codo tiene 33 dedos ó pulgadas de 48 que tiene la vara de Castilla,’ (Ibid. p. 161, quoting Veitia). This works out at 53.44 cubic feet against the 60 cubic feet allowed in the fifteenth and sixteenth century English ships. The measurement by tonelada was Sevillean, or South Spanish; the Biscayan builders calculated by the tonel, ten of which equalled twelve toneladas (Fernandez de Navarrete, Coleccion de Viages II, 86).
