A map of the United Kingdom (Not that it was called that then, but it makes it easier to describe the map) and the coast of France showing all the places the Mary Rose went to., the most northerly being Newcastle. Some, such as Brest, St-Pol-de-leon & Morlaix, as well as Portmsouth, have sword symbols showing that military action took place. Greenwich has a tankard as the crew got drunk and attacked a merchant vessel there. We'll talk abut that in a later post...

Some people will tell you that the Mary Rose never made it out of the harbour, but she was actually rather well travelled, at least for a ship in Henry VIII's fleet where coastal defence was more important than conquering the world...

Thanks. Inspiring work.

Wonderful! How are you doing this, and whose access are you restricting? Is there a link about your work/process?
