Mary Rose, Portsmouth, 2007 & 2013
13 photos of this Tudor warship taken in 2007 and 2013. Mary Rose was launched in 1511 and sank off Portsmouth in 1545 during the Battle of the Solent when the French attempted to invade England. The reasons for the sinking are uncertain. About one third of the hull survived because it was buried by sediments. It was recovered in 1982.
