Beschreibung

The great warship the Mary Rose was built between 1509 and 1511 and served 34 years in Henry VIII's navy before catastrophically sinking in the Battle of the Solent on 19 July 1545.

A fighting platform and sailing ship, she was the pride of the Tudor fleet. Yet her memory passed into undeserved oblivion - until the remains of this magnificent flagship were dramatically raised to the surface in 1982 after 437 years.

Part of the bestselling Anatomy of The Ship series, Tudor Warship Mary Rose provides the first full archaeological reconstruction of the Mary Rose, as she would have appeared when built and when she sank. Illustrated with a complete set of scale drawings, this book contains technical plans as well as explanatory views, all with fully descriptive keys.

Douglas McElvogue uses archaeological techniques to trace the development and eventful career of Henry VIII's gunship, as well as discussing the materials used to build her, her sailing characteristics, and ordnance.
