Alfred has been called the Father and Founder of the British Fleet. He recognised that invaders could only be kept off by defeating them on the sea. Legend has it that the ships that he built were larger than those used by the Vikings and were modelled after the warships of Rome. The ships were made to be tied to the boat being attacked so that they could board the vessel and fight. Unfortunately, this created some problems, most battles were fought in rivers and estuaries and the large ships were to easily stuck in mud when the tide went out
