History

The Honor is the Spanish name that was given The "Honor" (Honour), from Flanders, sank in 1544 in the bay of Lago (Xove, Lugo, Spain).

There was a lawsuit about the own of the rests. Some pieces were salvaged recently (old guns of iron, pewter tableware, bronze sewing needles,...). I dived the wreck.

I don't konw the Flemish name of the "Honor". By experience, in Spanish documents is usually only write the Spanish version of the name of a ship.
