The pride of the Tudor fleet, Mary Rose served 34 years in Henry VIIIs navy before sinking at the Battle of the Solent in 1545. The raising of the ship in 1982 gave archaeologists, including Douglas McElvogue, a unique opportunity to learn about the Tudor navy. Analysing the archaeological evidence, this book reconstructs the service history of Mary Rose, and provides a complete set of scale drawings and technical plans of the great warship. From the Anatomy of the Ship series.
