Mary Rose

The Mary Rose was an English Tudor carrack launched c.1511, substantially rebuilt in 1536, and serving as a purpose-built warship until she sank in 1545. A surviving section of her hull and thousands of recovered artefacts were raised and conserved; the remains and finds are displayed at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.

Partial ruin

As it stood in 1545

What Mary Rose looked like in its prime.

As completed after her 1536 rebuild (seen at her peak in 1545): a carvel-built oak carrack with pronounced fore- and after-castles and a low open waist, tumblehome above the waterline, four masts and a bowsprit bearing multiple square and lateen sails, long painted flags and gilded streamers from the mastheads, rows of gunports (about seven per side on the main deck) with heavy lids, and exposed timber hull planking darkened by tar and age.
