Mary Rose

The Tudor era warship Mary Rose captured my imagination when I saw the news about getting her off the bottom and the recovery efforts.

I flat wore out the copy of National Geographic with her story in it.

I bought a copy of that issue on ebay not that long ago.

The United States Naval Instituted Press is having a 50% off sale and they have a more detailed book on Mary Rose.  For $45, no sale.  For $22.50 and free shipping?  Sold.

It's a delightfully detailed book on the ship and her story.

I am very pleased.

The illustrations of the various artifacts is worth the price alone.

    The Mary Rose has it's own museum in Portsmouth. https://maryrose.org/
    I had the great fortune to see an exhibit of Mary Rose artifacts at the Sydney Maritime Museum in 94 when they were doing a tour. There's also a great book out about the history/raising and so on that's well worth getting: https://www.ebay.com/itm/392227627806?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1LmLwdKMnTa-T-A-B-G0srg76&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=392227627806&targetid=1262375642056&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=1014297&poi=&campaignid=12873834712&mkgroupid=117462212370&rlsatarget=pla-1262375642056&abcId=9300536&merchantid=100447571&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrJOMBhCZARIsAGEd4VGw1Pwu5QGErQXPdGrOmIRx5cDpI9JkITu-tyBh5sz1zOO7hGku9QAaAkv8EALw_wcB

    If I'd seen that for sale when my Dad (who was a ship and sea buff) was alive, I'd have known what he was getting for Christmas.

    If you want to see the Mary Rose, go sooner than later, it's disintegrating https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/11/x-rays-reveal-bacteria-poop-is-eating-away-at-the-mary-roses-wooden-hull/?fbclid=IwAR1PI81rOQZH9H3ScnmdgaLs0dkMD2qcisXO1SMx0E4ILUWpO57KY67ayP4

      The museum was closed the day I tried to go see her and our schedule was too busy to come back.

      I hope they find a solution to the degradation.
