Paperback. Etat : New. 'The authors are to be congratulated on a book which merits usage in the national curriculum.' - International Journal of Nautical ArchaeologyThe raising of the Tudor warship Mary Rose in 1982 has made her one of the most famous ships in history, though there is a good deal more to her story than its terminal disaster. She served successfully in the Royal Navy for more than thirty years before sinking, for reasons still uncertain, during a battle off Portsmouth in 1545. There have been many books published about Mary Rose but this is the only one written largely by those who sailed with her. It is based around original documents, including all the known despatches written aboard Mary Rose by the commanding admirals. Extracts from accounts and other papers illustrate the building, equipping and provisioning of the ship. Although this is primarily a view from the quarter-deck, there are occasional glimpses of life below. The collection concludes with reports of the sinking, and of the first attempts to salvage the ship and her ordnance.The documents are presented in modern spelling and are set in context through linking narratives. Technical terms are explained, and the principal characters introduced. The texts are supplemented by contemporary images, and by photographs of the preserved ship and recovered objects. A new range of illustrations has been added to this edition, published forty years on from the raising of the hull.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. "This book, based around letters from her days of active service, brings her story vividly to life. The letters, most of which have not been published before, give an impression of what it was like to serve on her, or to be involved with her supply and maintenance, between her launch in 1511 and that fateful day in 1545. Also included are the main contemporary accounts of the sinking, one of which records a conversation with one of the few survivors. .The documents are arranged within a narrative framework which tells the history of the ship and explains the historical background to the service she was called upon to perform. Published for the twentieth anniversary of the raising of the ship and profusely illustrated, this is a book to treasure." --- Original black papered boards, lettered gilt on spine (24.9 x 18.4 cm).
