Description

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.

Containing more interpretation of the hull and working of the ship than any publication to date, this book includes a huge mount of very detailed historical, iconographic and archaeological information. The author has interpreted the recovered structure to make it fit the Mary Rose illustrated by Anthony Anthony in 1546. The numerous scale drawings are augmented by technical illustrations with a descriptive index and explanatory views. The number of concepts covered in detail is impressive; all aspects of the ship and how she worked and fought are included, together with a history of the ship and description of life on board.

For anyone interested in how the Mary Rose worked, it is a must
