The Mary Rose

This is the Mary Rose which was Henry Vlll flag ship. She sunk in the 1500s and lay in the silt until she was brought up to the surface in 1982, she now resides in a purpose built museum along with all the artefacts they found on and around her, this included skeletons of the sailors and the ships dog!. She is the only ship of her age that survives in the world today. Only one side of her that was buried in the silt survived. It makes for fascinating reading and a real snapshot into the life of the navy in those times.
Nice on black
The photos are dark because the light is low and no flash photography was used.

I remember watching this boat being brought up to the surface, on the TV not in person, unfortunately. Good shot.

Interesting shot.
I watched a TV programme only a few days ago about this ship. Fascinating history & how they managed to recover it !

A piece of history. A nice look into how ships were built in that time.

I remember watching it on Blue Peter! It certainly captured the nation at the time.
