Description

The Mary Rose: A Glimpse into Life at Sea in 16th-Century England. This book brings to life one of history's most famous ships through letters from its active service. Written by commanding admirals and other individuals involved with the ship, these letters provide a unique insight into daily life on board the Mary Rose between 1511 and her ill-fated sinking in 1545. The letters reveal details about the ship's operations at sea and its involvement in various engagements. The book also includes contemporary accounts of the sinking, including a conversation with one of the few survivors. Forty years after being raised from the seabed, these documents and images offer a rare glimpse into life on the high seas hundreds of years ago.
