All Tudor life is there; it is like stepping inside a Holbein painting." David Dimbleby: “The Mary Rose is far more than the museum of a ship, magnificent though this ship was. It is a brilliantly preserved snapshot of life in Tudor Times in all its aspects, recovered from the sea bed. Here are Tudor nit combs (complete with dead nits) long bows, leather shoes, and cutlery. With its neighbours HMS Victory and HMS Warrior it also gives an insight into how naval warfare developed over nearly four centuries to protect our islands.” John Bly: “The Mary Rose Museum is the closest thing to time-travel I have ever experienced. Tudor life surrounds you and welcomes you in. The display of these unique historical artefacts is so thoughtfully organised as to be captivating, informative and enjoyable for every age group, whether novice or knowledgeable.” Sandy Toksvig: “The new Mary Rose museum is one of the most exciting history projects ever to open in the UK. It is so wonderful to see the crew of that fated ship honoured in such a wonderful way. As you walk the length of the ship you don't just see what life was like for a Tudor seaman, you feel as though you are experiencing it as well. At last the men of the Mary Rose can stand tall and tell us their story. It is a privilege to hear it.” The New Mary Rose Museum – First year facts and figures Visitor records: Portsmouth Historic Dockyard will see over 720,000 visitors for 2013-14 The Mary Rose Museum originally projected to bring an additional 75,000 people to the site when they did the original Heritage Lottery Fund bid Since opening at the end of May 2013, the current visitor attendance is 450,000. 8th October 2013 – Mary Rose hit 250,000 visitor mark The Mary Rose Museum achieved 100,000 visitors on the 27th July 2013.

The day of the launch saw a gain of 350 fans, with another 232 over the next seven days. Total figures include: 5,259. Twitter – Current twitter following includes 6,538. The Mary Rose timeline 1509. The Mary Rose is ordered by the newly crowned King Henry VIII. 1510. Construction began in Portsmouth. The Mary Rose was built almost on the exact same location where she now rests. She was one of the first ships in England to be carvel, rather than, clinker built. Her construction would have required around 600 large Oak trees - about 16 hectares (40 acres) of woodland. It is likely her rigging and masts were fitted out in London. 1511. The Mary Rose is launched. Her first voyage is to London for final fitting out. 1512-1514. The Mary Rose – flagship of King Henry VIII’s fleet - fights her first battle leading an attack on a French fleet. Her captain called her ‘The noblest ship of sail’. 1520. The Mary Rose formed part of Henry's escort when he crossed the English Channel to meet the French King, Francis I. This meeting, just outside of Calais at what was known as the Field of the Cloth of Gold, was aimed at bringing a lasting peace. But, such diplomatic efforts were short-lived. Just two years later the countries were again at war. 1522. 30 June, the Mary Rose led the English fleet towards France and three days later they captured the French port of Morlaix. 1524. The Mary Rose was moored in Portsmouth Harbour along with ten other warships, ready for action as required. 1526/27. Preparations are made in 1526 for the Mary Rose’s refit when the King purchased 9 acres of land to dig out a new dock and to build storehouses. Her refit takes place in the summer of 1527. 1536. The Mary Rose undergoes a further refit which may have included reinforcing. This was at the same period that Henry VIII was dissolving the monasteries, which brought him much-needed revenue that may have helped fund this work. 1545. 19 July, the Battle of the Solent. The Mary Rose, under the command of Sir George Carew, sinks during the afternoon while leading the attack on the French invasion fleet. King Henry VIII, along with the wife of Sir George Carew watches the battle from Southsea Castle. The screams of the drowning sailors can be heard on land and the loss of the Mary Rose deeply affects the King and the country. 1545-1549. Following her sinking, expert Venetian salvors attempt to raise the wreck. Although unsuccessful, they do recover sails, parts of the masts and the rigging. Some of her guns are raised in further salvage work through to 1549, but the ship then lays undisturbed for almost 300 years. 1836. Early pioneering divers, John and Charles Deane, rediscover the wreck site and raise items including a number of guns using explosives. The Mary Rose is then lost again for over 100 years. 1965. The search for the Mary Rose begins, led by the late British military historian and amateur diver Alexander McKee. 1967. Sonar investigations locate a large anomaly beneath the seabed and the Mary Rose (1967) Committee was formed. 1970. Iron gun similar to those recovered by John Deane found 1971. Diver Percy Ackland sees the first exposed timbers and the site is identified as the ‘Mary Rose’. 1974. The Mary Rose was designated under the Protection of Wrecks Act. 1979 The Mary Rose Trust was formed with the remit "to find, excavate, raise and preserve for all time such remains of the ship Mary Rose as may be of historical or archaeological interest" 1979-1982 Maritime Archaeologist Margaret Rule leads the project to excavate the ships’ content. In total over 19,000 artefacts were brought ashore and almost 28,000 dives were carried out in what is known as the world’s largest underwater excavation. It is estimated over 60 million people worldwide watch the wreck being raised live on television. The hull was subsequently towed into the same dry dock where she now rests. The hull starts being sprayed continually with recycled, fresh water at a temperature of less than 5oC to stop the wood drying out and to inhibit bacterial activity. 1985. The hull is turned upright and a series of Titanium props are installed to support the internal structure. This enables the archaeologists to begin to replace some of over 3,000 timbers which have been recovered underwater. The longest was a plank seven metres long, while the largest single element was the rudder which weighed 750 kilograms. 1994-2013. On 30 September 1994 active conservation work commences on the hull of the ship, which is sprayed with Polyethlene Glycol (PEG) a water-soluble wax. This is a two stage process allowing the wax to penetrate deep into the core of the wood and then to seal the surface of the wood.

  • Master Narrative Ours Is the Epic Story of the Royal Navy, Its Impact on Britain and the World from Its Origins in 625 A.D
    NMRN Master Narrative Ours is the epic story of the Royal Navy, its impact on Britain and the world from its origins in 625 A.D. to the present day. We will tell this emotionally-coloured and nuanced story, one of triumph and achievement as well as failure and muddle, through four key themes:- People. We tell the story of the Royal Navy’s people. We examine the qualities that distinguish people serving at sea: courage, loyalty and sacrifice but also incidents of ignorance, cruelty and cowardice. We trace the changes from the amateur ‘soldiers at sea’, through the professionalization of officers and then ships’ companies, onto the ‘citizen sailors’ who fought the World Wars and finally to today’s small, elite force of men and women. We highlight the change as people are rewarded in war with personal profit and prize money but then dispensed with in peace, to the different kind of recognition given to salaried public servants. Increasingly the people’s story becomes one of highly trained specialists, often serving in branches with strong corporate identities: the Royal Marines, the Submarine Service and the Fleet Air Arm. We will examine these identities and the Royal Navy’s unique camaraderie, characterised by simultaneous loyalties to ship, trade, branch, service and comrades. Purpose. We tell the story of the Royal Navy’s roles in the past, and explain its purpose today. Using examples of what the service did and continues to do, we show how for centuries it was the pre-eminent agent of first the British Crown and then of state policy throughout the world.

  • Mary Rose: the First Ship of Our Standing Navy Transcript
    Mary Rose: The first Ship of our Standing Navy Transcript Date: Wednesday, 25 February 2009 - 12:00AM MARY ROSE: THE FIRST SHIP OF OUR STANDING NAVY Rear Admiral John Lippiett It is on April 21st this year that we will be celebrating Henry VIII coming to the throne, at seventeen years old, and he changed our country radically. The first thing he did was to order to be built the Mary Rose and another ship called the Peter Pomegranate. To anticipate the question about this other ship, Peter was St Peter, Pomegranate was Catherine of Aragon's family crest, and so 'Mary Rose' is probably the Virgin Mary, although custom has it that it was his favourite sister Mary, and the rose the Tudor Rose. The Mary Rose was a revolutionary as a ship. When it was built, in 1509, with its maiden voyage in 1511, it was as scientifically advanced as the space shuttle was in the 1980's. It has a new form of construction for warships in this country. For the first time, we have got a ship that is smooth-sided, that is carvel-built with planks abutting each other to give a smooth side, as opposed to clinker-built, which is where the planks overlap. Carvel ships were built from the keep up and the planks were just laid on top of each other. For the first time, this was building a ship with frames and then putting the planks around it. It was 150 feet long and it was a mighty warship with castles at the stern and bow, the aftercastle and the forecastle (you will probably know that forecastle is now abbreviated to 'focsle' of a ship).
