Now the Mary Rose Trust, with the Heritage Lottery Fund is publishing the complete history of the project and the research up to the present day in five highly illustrated volumes, revealing a wealth of information covering all aspects of the ship. Sealed by Time: The Loss and Recovery of the Mary Rose traces the history of the Mary Rose from great naval vessel to ruinous shipwreck to outstanding museum display. The Mary Rose was an extraordinary ship. Built to a new design, she was one of the first great British warships. Her career spanned all but a few years of Henry VIII's reign and she took place in most of his wars. Combining for the first time all that is known from contemporary documents and the archaeological evidence, Peter Marsden and a team of specialists give a fascinating and detailed overview of her history. They set out details of the circumstances of her building, participation in three wars with France, repairs and rebuilds, and finally the tragic sinking with massive loss of life in Portsmouth Harbour in 1545 as she prepared to encounter the French fleet one more time. Also described are the place of the ship in naval and seafaring history, the novel aspects of her shape and construction, how she performed at sea, her structure, rigging and armoury. Bringing the story up-to-date, further chapters describe the epic project to excavate and salvage the ship that culminated in the raising of the hull in 1982, an event watched by millions on television, and subsequently how the museum and display of the massive hull were created. Beautifully illustrated with contemporary paintings and documents as well as photos of the excavations and some of the 26,000 objects recovered, this will be of great interest to everyone with an interest in maritime archaeology, conservation, and the history of the period.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49516278055185,"sku":"GOR003453213","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50367712788753,"sku":"CIN0954402901G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50716055437585,"sku":"GOR001548478","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51278364705041,"sku":"GOR010813679","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0954402901.jpg?v=1751108869"},{"product_id":"for-future-generations-book-mark-jones-9781785701559","title":"For Future Generations","description":"The Mary Rose, one of the first great British warships and  Henry VIII's flagship, sank in 1545, taking all her  contents and most of her crew to the bottom of the sea. The  conservation of the hull of the Mary Rose, and more than 26,000  objects recovered during her excavation, has been a massive  undertaking. The complex process of conservation was begun even before the hull was raised from the seabed in 1982, and continues  today. For Future Generations: Conservation of a Tudor Maritime Collection  is one of the series of books published by the Mary Rose Trust, with the Heritage Lottery Fund, on the archaeology of  the Mary Rose. It provides an introduction to the conservation  programme devised for the Mary Rose, and the principles,  objectives and problems of marine archaeological conservation. A  huge range of objects were recovered from the ship, including  wood, textiles, leather, ceramics, glass, stone, metals, rope, pieces of sail-cloth, and many hundreds of animal and human  bones. Almost all objects required some kind of treatment to halt  the effects of 450 years of immersion in saltwater. This  volume explains the conservation methods used for the treatment  and preservation of each major category of material. It describes  the processes of decay and degradation and the results of  bacterial and animal infestation that affect shipwrecks in general, and the Mary Rose in particular. The variety and  immensity of the task facing the excavators of the Mary Rose was  so great that new methods and treatments had to be devised and  tested. It proved to be ground-breaking work. The conservation  work did not stop with the stabilisation of the hull and objects  from the wreck. Museum display and the continuing storage of most  objects presented their own problems. This volume also describes  the design and construction of specialised display cases,  ensuring that the museum could control and monitor potentially destructive environmental factors such as light, humidity, heat  and atmospheric pollution, as well as allowing good public access  to the objects.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49539576791313,"sku":"GOR009697025","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/178570155X.jpg?v=1751185096"},{"product_id":"for-future-generations-book-mark-jones-9780954402952","title":"For Future Generations","description":"Optical beams are electromagnetic waves that remain essentially concentrated around a mean axis upon free propagation or that are guided by suitable structures. The study of these beams has existed long ago and since then this field has been a focus of active investigation. However, in recent years, the interest on optical beams has further increased, due to the availability of many types of laser sources, characterized by very different properties, as far as their polarization, coherence, spectral content, and spatial distribution are concerned.This book contains lectures presented in the 35th International School of Quantum Electronics at the Ettore Majorana Centre in Erice, Sicily. It gives the latest coverage on the development and advance in Free and Guided Optical Beams. The purpose of these lectures was to give an updated overview, as complete as possible, on topics concerning the propagation of light beams in free space, in materials, and in guiding structures, and to provide the tools needed to its study, both from the theoretical and the application point of view.The lectures presented here are written in extended review-like format. Both introductory fundamental topics and recent research results are reviewed, making this an indispensible book for novice as well as experts in this field.The proceedings have been selected for coverage in: - Index to Scientific \u0026amp; Technical Proceedings(R) (ISTP(R) \/ ISI Proceedings)- Index to Scientific \u0026amp; Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version \/ ISI Proceedings)- C Proceedings -- Engineering \u0026amp; Physical Sciences","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49997872791825,"sku":"GOR007595651","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0954402952.jpg?v=1751203367"},{"product_id":"before-the-mast-book-julie-gardiner-9781782973874","title":"Before the Mast","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50264024482065,"sku":"GOR013903779","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1782973877.jpg?v=1750801519"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/archaeology-of-the-mary-rose-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
