The
Mary Rose is the only 16th century
warship on display anywhere in the world. Built between 1509
and 1511, she was one of the first ships able to fire a broadside,
and was a firm favourite of King Henry VIII.
After a long and successful career, she
sank accidentally during an engagement with the French fleet
in 1545. Her rediscovery and raising were seminal events in
the history of nautical archaeology.
