What happened to the Mary Rose?
Crafted in 1510 and launched in 1511, the Mary Rose was Henry VIII’s favourite ship throughout his infamous reign. This impressive warship fought in two explosive wars against France and Scotland. Weighing 600 tons and with 6 – 8 large guns, the Mary Rose was a deadly example of state-of-the-art design. Tragedy struck in 1545 when the Mary Rose fought against the French fleet and capsized, in the Solent just off Southsea Castle. Of the 500 daring men aboard, no more than 35 survived this devastating turn of events.
