This week we are joined, from sunny Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and the Mary Rose Museum, by Curator Hannah Matthews and Marine Archaeologist Alex Hildred who was one of the divers working on the raising of the Mary Rose. This week's rage is that THE MARY ROSE DID NOT SINK ON HER MAIDEN VOYAGE!
We talk about her career and the many attempts to raise the wreck dating all the way back to Tudor times. We talk about what the wreck can tell us about Tudor people, and ask the question is Henry VIII really that bad?
