| Summary: | The book provides the fascinating background to one of the most important marine excavations of this century. <p>It tells the story of the warship which was the pride of the Tudor navy but sank without firing a shot - and before the horrified eyes of the King himself - in an engagement against the French fleet. Almost all the sailors and archers on board were drowned but the "Mary Rose" and her contents were to be protected by a thick covering of silts - thus preserving a unique storehouse of everyday life on a fighting ship of the sixteenth century. </p><p> |
