There have been some interesting items on BBC news relating to the new Mary Rose museum building in Portsmouth.

 

See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-22639505 for a BBC on line item.

There is also a "Tour of the Mary Rose Artifacts" at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17605592 and an item including archive of the raising of the Mary Rose plus the construction of the museum http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22713924

 

I watched the raising of the ship on live TV. As the wreck started to clear the surface, one of the supporting lines parted and the whole thing lurched downwards breaking off some of the old timbers. For a moment everyone thought that it was all about to end in disaster. Fortunately the other lines withstood their extra load so all was well.
