MooreThis famous Tutor ship wreck has delivered to our century a host of fascinating artifacts and human remains; preserved since the 16th century in the mud and silt of the Solent. This book takes us step by step through what we now know of the actual sinking and how it settled into the bottom. For anyone familiar with this sinking or anyone interested in the life of Henry VIII; this should be a really enjoyable read. Highly recommended. If you get a chance to visit the wreck in England; it has been preserved; and the museum is filled with recovered artifacts; many of which have been photographed and appear in this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Invaluable insights memoriesBy T. VeithI love this book. The information and some of the pictures can be found in "Sealed by Time" by Peter Marsden (2003) which is 15 times the cost of this book. I have only read about half of this book so far but it is a "smooth" read. A reader just glides through picks up information effortlessly. It is so well written you don't have to struggle to understand. It also has information not in "Sealed by Time." But most importantly it has Margret Rules insights and memories. She was with the Mary Rose (1967) Committee and all of its consequent forms. Her point of view is what is invaluable.
