Spanish Armada

This stained glass is in the cloisters of the Cathedral. From the style of ship, and the date, I am guessing that it commemorates something to do with the Armada, but don't know for sure. Interestingly, when I went into the cellar of the Falcon pub, I was told that the beams of the cellar had been proved to be Spanish oak from the 1500's, and probably came from Spanish ships wrecked on the North Wales coast in the aftermath of the Armada.
