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 an 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":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53360917643537,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53360917774609,"sku":"GOR008927562","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781785701528.jpg?v=1774958246","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/sealed-by-time-book-peter-marsden-9781785701528","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
