Dayplayer Campers Celebrate 2021 Re-Opening with the Story of the Mary Rose!

The picture of the Mary Rose, shown above, is taken from the Anthony Roll which contained a Dayplayer Campers Celebrate 2021 Re-Opening With the Story of The Mary Rose! On Wednesday, July 21 at 7 pm in the First Cumberland Sanctuary, the Dayplayers will present the musical story of a famous warship, the Mary Rose. They will be joined by an adult choir and live instruments to present Ahoy! Sing for the Mary Rose an educational cantata commissioned for the opening of a Portsmouth, England museum where the ship is now housed. Our children are working very hard at this and having a great time as well! The Mary Rose, known as Henry VIII’s flagship, sank in the Battle of the Solent in 1545, when Henry’s fleet fought against the fleet of Francis I of France. Precisely why the ship sank remains a mystery. The only trustworthy account comes from a survivor. According to him, the Mary Rose’s sinking was caused by gunports that were left open by neglect while making a sharp turn. Unfortunately, water flowed in through the opened gunports and flooded her, which eventually led to the tragedy. The ship was raised out of the water in 1982 with a large trove of artefacts providing a window into life in the Tudor period of English history. The cantata is filled with sea shanties, and music written by Henry Vlll (who was an excellent musician) as well as modern tunes. Please come and celebrate the accomplishments of our 2021 Dayplayers as they present the cantata, Ahoy! Sing for the Mary Rose! This event is free to all. .

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.

Introductions to Heritage Assets: Ships and Boats: Prehistory to 1840
Ships and Boats: Prehistory to 1840 Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which lack such a summary. This can either be where the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. Many of these are what might be thought of as ‘new heritage’, that is they date from after the Second World War. Principally from the archaeological evidence, this overview identifies and describes pre-Industrial vessels (that is from the earliest times to about 1840) used on inland and coastal waters and the open sea, as well as ones abandoned in coastal areas. It includes vessels buried through reclamation or some other process: many of the most significant early boats and ships have been discovered on land rather than at sea. Vessels and wrecks pre-dating 1840 are relatively rare: the latter comprise just 4 per cent of known sites around the English coast. This guidance note has been written by Mark Dunkley and edited by Paul Stamper. It is one is of several guidance documents that can be accessed at HistoricEngland.org.uk/listing/selection-criteria/listing-selection/ihas-buildings/ First published by English Heritage March 2012.

THE MARY ROSE by GEORGE PARKINSON the Mary Rose Is a Carrack-Type Warship of the English Tudor Navy of King Henry VIII
THE MARY ROSE BY GEORGE PARKINSON The Mary Rose is a carrack-type warship of the English TuDor navy of King Henry VIII. She served for 33 years in several wars against France, Scotland, and Brittany, after being substantially rebuilt in 1536, she saw her last action on 19th July 1545! The Mary Rose and the Peter Pomegranate The earliest reference to the Mary Rose is 29th January 1510, in a letter ordering the construction of “two new ships”. These ships were to be the Mary Rose and her sister ship, the Peter Pomegranate. The ships were built in Portsmouth, making the sinking of the Mary Rose in the Solent and her eventual resting place in Portsmouth’s Mary Rose Museum more poignant. The first account that names the Mary Rose is a letter from June 1511. It is often claimed that the ship was named after Henry’s sister, Mary Tudor but no evidence supports this. Instead, it was the fashion to name ships for saints and the pairing of the Mary with the Peter supports this. The badges of the ships – the Rose and the Pomegranate – celebrate the royal couple; the rose being the symbol of the king, and the pomegranate being that of his first wife, Katherine of Aragon. Neatly, the Virgin Mary was known at the time as the ‘Mystic Rose’; the name of the Mary Rose therefore signifies not only the power of the Tudor dynasty, but also that of the Virgin Mary. The Mary Rose was larger than her sister ship - 600 tons to the Peter Pomegranate’s 450 - but this was not the only difference between th e ships.
