The Mary Rose in a Nutshell Paperback – September 23, 2016

by Philip Roberts (Author)
4.6 out of 5 stars 14 ratings
MadeGlobal's History in a Nutshell Series aims to give readers a good grounding in a historical topic in a concise, easily digestible and easily accessible way.

Henry VIII's prized flagship sank in 1545 under the watchful eye of the king himself. With it, over 500 men tragically lost their lives.

The Mary Rose in a Nutshell takes us up-to-date with the theories and finds from this, the only Tudor ship in the world. From her construction in 1511, through expansion and refitting, to the Battle of the Solent, and then on to various attempts at salvage, the story of the Mary Rose is amazing. 437 years after she sank, her hull was brought back to the surface and an intense conservation effort was begun.

Philip Roberts' close association with the Mary Rose for well over 20 years comes through in his assessment of the life story of this magnificent ship.

    Proorly produced black and white print on demand. Goes over the old stuff you can find in all other books on the Mary Rose. For its price its a good intro before seeing the museum but that's about it.
