Henry VIII's 500-year-old flagship Mary Rose

Post by Euan »

Wreck of Henry VIII's 500-year-old flagship Mary Rose has started to 'come down on itself'
Henry VIII's flagship went on display in the Mary Rose museum exactly 471 years after it perished
The vessel was removed from the seabed 35 years ago and rests in a climatically controlled box
After it was taken out of the water the ship was initially sprayed with water and wax to stop in rotting
In 2013 they started the drying process which is now mostly complete but the wooden beams are shifting Click Here :g50:

Soon to be renamed, Mary Collapsed.
I used to have an issue regarding having an inferiority complex, I no longer have an issue with being inferior.

what is surprising is that this has made the news, since any archaeologist worth his/her salt knows that drying out ancient artefacts has a resultant effect on their structure ... maybe they should have embalmed the thing in Renaissance wax, like the rest of us do!!!
