Re:Mary Rose goes under wraps for three years 14 Years, 7 Months ago
I saw this as a child on a school trip and was thoroughly disappointed at seeing a mass of damp, rotting timber which seemed to bear no relation to illustrations I had seen in history books of a 16th century warship. I don't think I was the only one!
Re:Mary Rose goes under wraps for three years 14 Years, 7 Months ago
You wont believe the number of people that thought that it was going to be a fully rigged Tudor warship raised from the Solent. There were thousands of people on Southsea seafront the day she came up.They should have all stayed at home and watched it on telly. Its still a load of old timber but better preserved old timber.
