Bows aren't much use without arrows and we found more than 3,500 arrows on the Mary Rose. Like the bows, most of the arrows were found in chests.

When we found the arrows they looked like those on the right of the picture. The arrow heads had rusted away and the feathers had vanished.

The arrows on the left of the picture show how they would have looked before the ship sank.

They have flights made from the feathers of geese or swans. The iron heads would have had nasty barbs, so you couldn't pull them out if you were shot by them.
