The HMS Enterprize
The HMS Enterprize, a British galleon, was a notable Human naval ship to bear the name "Enterprise".
No information on this vessel was given beyond its appearance in the opening credits of Star Trek: Enterprise. That she was British is assumed by her bearing the prefix "HMS". That she was a galleon is evidenced by her depiction.
Historically, the Royal Navy has had two ships named HMS Enterprize (spelled with a 'z'): an 8-gun sloop captured from the Spanish in 1743, and a 10-gun tender later captured by the Americans in 1775. Neither were galleons.
Template:PrewarpEnterprise Design, period, and the sketch in Captain Archer's ready room indicate this was more likely the HMS Enterprise (with an S) launched in 1848 which made two trips into the Arctic Ocean. The second of which, in 1850, is credited with discovering the Northwest passage (though it was Enterprise's subordinate ship HMS Investigator which completed the voyage first and earned this credit).
