The Mary Rose

The Mary Rose The Mary Rose is located within Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, just five minutes from Portsmouth Harbo

Built between 1509 and 1511, she was one of the first ships able to fire a broadside, and was a firm favourite of King Henry VIII. After a long and successful career, she sank accidentally during an engagement with the French fleet in 1545. Her rediscovery and raising were seminal events in the history of nautical archaeology.

This image from Gersdorff's Fieldbook of Surgery (1519) is known as Wound Man, and shows all the injuries a surgeon should be able to treat.

Obviously not all at the same time though, that would be silly...

Did the Mary Rose's crew enjoy a pancake on Shrove Tuesday?

An inventory of “stuff, tackle, apparel, ordnance, artillery and habiliments of War” made on 27th July 1514, lists the Mary Rose carrying, among all the rigging and weapons, a quantity of cookware, including a frying pan!

While we know that Shrove Tuesday was observed in Tudor England, and Pancake races were taking place, It's sadly unlikely the entire crew of 500 men were tucking into pancakes made on a single frying pan.

Have you met our neighbours?

This is HMS M33, an M29 class Monitor and one of just three British warships that survive from WW1. She opened to the public in 2015, a century after she was initially built, and we have to admit, there's a lot to see on board!

The best thing is that you can see her, HMS Victory AND the Mary Rose, plus a load of other exciting attractions, if you pick up an Ultimate Explorer Ticket at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard

The mast top of the Mary Rose might seem like a terrible place to work, swaying side-to-side with the ship's motion, but it may have saved the poor look-out's life...

This one was found in the ship's stores, and was probably a spare.

Incidentally, a crow’s nest is mounted on the side of a mast, a top goes around. There, you’ve learned something new today.

We only found two quill nibs on the Mary Rose - not surprising, when literacy was seen as a luxury at the time - but they're both really stubby - is there a holder missing, or were they the equivalent of the tiny Argos pen?

Our colleagues at The Mary Rose have had a busy morning! Mary Rose Archaeological Services returned timbers from the Newport Medieval Ship Project they've been doing conservation work on - and BBC Breakfast were there to cover it.

Yesterday I had lovely day meeting with the fantastic people at the The Mary Rose in Portsmouth to discuss the possibilities for collaborations this season. I couldn’t miss the opportunity to sing one of Henry VIII’s songs next to his favourite ship!

I adore the Mary Rose! Aside from the breathtaking remains of the ship, the collection of everyday objects from everyday (not royal/noble) Tudor people is as expansive as it is fascinating. And there are lots of exciting things happening this year so keep an eye out!
There’s new discoveries for groups to experience at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard The recently launched “Victory Live” offers a glimpse into the conservation process and the painstaking, highly professional work that goes into maintaining historic warships.

In Spring 2023 the The Mary Rose will open a new 4D immersive theatre experience, ‘Dive the Mary Rose 4D’, showcasing the untold story of the finding, excavation, and recovery of the Mary Rose. The new experience is the biggest expansion since the purpose-built museum opened in Portsmouth in 2013

Head to the stand to find out more, where you can also meet group travel favourites including Spinnaker Tower The D-Day Story and Discover Gosport
