  • 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.

  • 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.

  • TUDOR FURNITURE from the MARY ROSE David Knell
    TUDOR FURNITURE FROM THE MARY ROSE David Knell The warship Mary Rose was built at Portsmouth in 150 9-10 as part of a major programme to strengthen the English navy and improve coastal defences as a means of safeguarding merchant ships using the Channel. On 19 July 1545, nine years after she had been partially rebuilt and refitted, the Mary Rose sank at Spithead, off Portsmouth, during a defensive skirmish with a large French fleet intending to invade England. As she was hoisting sail and going about to assist the Henry Grace a Dieti, the English flagship, the Mary Rose suddenly heeled and it seems that the weight of the water pouring through her open gunports made the list irreversible and, inevitably, fatal.1 The ship descended rapidly to the seabed, where she lay heeled at 60 degrees from the vertical with the port side uppermost. By the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century the exposed port side and upper structures, weakened by biological attack and eroded by the abrasive currents, had collapsed and a hard layer of shelly clay had formed over the remaining silt-filled starboard side, protecting it and its contents beneath the seabed.2 The lack of oxygen under this layer decelerated the microbiological degradation of the concealed part of the ship and many organic materials have been surprisingly well preserved. Unfortunately, iron — particularly wrought iron — has not fared as well and, with the exception of guns, has for the most part corroded away leaving only residual traces. The wreck of the Mary Rose was rediscovered in 1971 and, after eleven years of arduous and meticulous excavation, the remains of the hull were raised and are now housed at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
