As I approach my seventieth birthday, I find myself reflecting on I am delighted to hear that visitors continue to find the stories the achievements of the charities I have supported over the decades of the ship and her crew as spellbinding as we did when we were and The Mary Rose Trust remains one of which I am particularly excavating the wreck all those years ago. I remain immensely proud. Having been involved for over forty years now, I have proud of having played a part in the recovery of such a treasure been greatly encouraged by the way in which the Mary Rose has for the nation, and I can only send my most heartfelt thanks developed from a major underwater archaeological excavation to to all those, past and present, who help make sure that future today’s award-winning, world class museum. generations can be inspired by this truly remarkable story.
Having dived several times on the Mary Rose myself, I was delighted to hear the 2017 divers’ reunion and thirty-fifth anniversary of the 1982 raising celebrations went so well. This was an excellent opportunity to recognise the volunteer divers, without whose dedication and passion the Mary Rose would still be languishing on the bottom of the sea.
