ianmajor Posted May 30, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 30, 2013 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. Quote Ian M. Current build: HMS Unicorn (1748) - Corel Kit Advice from my Grandfather to me. The only people who don't make mistakes are those who stand back and watch. The trick is not to repeat the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmajor Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share #2 Posted May 30, 2013 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. Quote Ian M.
