Before the Mast Life And Death Aboard the Mary Rose

450 years ago Henry VIII's flagship tipped then sank on its maiden voyage in Portsmouth harbour. In 1982, amidst huge publicity, an expert crew of archaeologists and conservators raised the wreck and started a process of research that is now revealing fascinating details of life aboard the Tudor warship. Shipwrecks offer a chance to investigate a whole world, caught at a moment in time, and this volume sheds light on some of the minutiae of Tudor life inaccessible through any other means. (This is a provisional description awaiting a final version to be cleared with the Mary Rose Trust).Gardiner, Julie is the author of 'Before the Mast Life And Death Aboard the Mary Rose', published 2006 under ISBN 9780954402945 and ISBN 0954402944.
