Mary Rose Trust 2019 Annual Report Mary Rose Trust Annual Review 2019 MARYROSEANNUALREPORT MR Final after Chair.indd 1 30/09/2019 16:08 2 MARYROSEANNUALREPORT MR Final after Chair.indd 2 30/09/2019 16:08 Over my forty-year involvement, I have been delighted to see the Trust evolve from an ambitious and determined group of enthusiasts undertaking the world’s biggest ever underwater archaeological excavation into a world class museum and professional organisation, respected around the world for its work. I am particularly pleased with the way the Trust continues to develop the fascinating Mary Rose story, with the latest scientific research revealing more compelling stories about the origins of the Mary Rose’s ship’s company, showing Tudor England was most likely far more diverse than we thought. It all makes for a spellbinding story and one that visitors continue to find as compelling as we all did when we were diving on, and excavating, the ship all those decades ago. I remain immensely proud of having played a small part in recovering the immense treasures of the Mary Rose for the nation and send my heartfelt thanks to all those, past and present, who support the Trust and help make sure that future generations can be inspired by this truly remarkable story. 3 MARYROSEANNUALREPORT MR Final after Chair.indd 3 30/09/2019 16:08 Highlight of our trip to Portsmouth.

Work is progressing on populating the Collections Management System with digital records for each artefact to provide a holistic and accurate view of our collections holdings. Digitisation of the Mary Rose archive continues with over 50,000 35mm slides now scanned and catalogued by our team of digitisation volunteers. Funding is sought at the moment to continue this work with other non-digital assets such as dive logs and videos. We aim over time to digitise the entire archive and make it accessible online. Work is underway to examine the feasibility of altering the environmental conditions in the Weston Ship Hall to create a more sustainable system in terms of energy costs and maintenance time. Discussions are underway with other institutions and our engineers to gather learnings, with in-house testing and close monitoring of Mary Rose timbers treated with Polyethylene Glycol (the chemical wax used to treat archaeological wood) in climate controlled chambers also planned, to evaluate impact of temperature and moisture changes. The giant stem post timber of the ship completed its consolidation treatment during and was transferred into the eston Ship all during February , along with the ship’s pump and an anchor. The artefacts will be air dried in the Ship Hall before being mounted into position at a later date. 10 MARYROSEANNUALREPORT MR Final after Chair.indd 10 30/09/2019 16:08 Scientific research Applied conservation science has underpinned our work at the Mary Rose from the beginning, and we continue to insist on academic rigour, innovation and work done to the highest professional standards.

  • Surgery at Sea: an Analysis of Shipboard Medical Practitioners and Their Instrumentation
    Surgery at Sea: An Analysis of Shipboard Medical Practitioners and Their Instrumentation By Robin P. Croskery Howard April, 2016 Director of Thesis: Dr. Lynn Harris Major Department: Maritime Studies, History Abstract: Shipboard life has long been of interest to maritime history and archaeology researchers. Historical research into maritime medical practices, however, rarely uses archaeological data to support its claims. The primary objective of this thesis is to incorporate data sets from the medical assemblages of two shipwreck sites and one museum along with historical data into a comparative analysis. Using the methods of material culture theory and pattern recognition, this thesis will explore changes in western maritime medical practices as compared to land-based practices over time.

But that said, we are all a part of the same very fine Service and as Navy's current 'people' person, I am delighted to come to the party. Professionally, my early dealings with Naval Aviation were confined to the not so glamorous world of logistics where I was amazed by the staggering quantities of bits and pieces demanded by Air Engineers to keep those airframes flying and also gained an understanding of their commitment to air worthiness. The ROE [role of effort] has not diminished! Now, I have to man the aircraft and provide the technicians; not always an easy task but, as ever, there are many fine people in the Naval Personnel Division and the wider community to assist. In that role, the excellent contribution of the Fleet Air Arm Association in maintaining the esprit de corp is invaluable.

  • Sonardyne Fusion Acoustic Positioning System Used on the Mary Rose Excavation 2003
    The Sonardyne Fusion Acoustic Positioning System used on the Mary Rose Excavation 2003 Peter Holt Sonardyne International Ltd August 2003 Fusion APS used on Mary Rose Excavation 2003 Introduction The Ministry of Defence may need to widen and straighten the channel approach to Portsmouth Harbour to accommodate their new aircraft carriers. The dredging work could affect the site of the Mary Rose historic wreck so what remains on the site had to be removed. When the hull of the Mary Rose was recovered from the seabed some of the ship was not recovered, some timbers and artefacts were reburied while the remains of the bow castle were never investigated. A multi-phase project was put together by the Mary Rose Trust with the aim of recovering the buried artefacts and debris, excavating the spoil mounds to remove any artefacts, undertaking visual and magnetic searches and delimiting the extent of the debris field. The fieldwork for 2003 included using an excavation ROV to remove the top layer of silt that had covered the wreck leaving the delicate excavation to be done by divers with airlifts. A Sonardyne Fusion Acoustic Positioning System (APS) was used on the 4 week project to provide high accuracy positioning for support vessel, ROV and divers. Archaeological and Historical Background The Mary Rose was one of the first ships built during the early years of the reign of King Henry VIII, probably in Portsmouth. She served as Flagship during Henry’s First French War and was substantially refitted and rebuilt during her 36 year long life. The Mary Rose sank in 1545 whilst defending Portsmouth from the largest invasion fleet ever known, estimated at between 30,000 and 50,000 individuals and between 150 and 200 vessels.
