It’s 42 years today that the Mary Rose was raised, with Portsmouth’s ship now at the centre of @MaryRoseMuseum.

Really enjoyed writing this piece for the brilliant @TudorPlaces!

[Tudor Places @TudorPlaces]

In Issue 03 @HLMatthews_MR explores the historic and modern-day story of the Mary Rose, the largest marine archaeological excavation in the world, and how the ship’s raising has inspired, and will continue to inspire, new generations, some forty years on.

It was also a pleasure to explore some of the Mary Rose stories with the @RoyalMintMuseum for their brand new ‘Coins and the Sea’ series!

Thank you for visiting @MaryRoseMuseum, we enjoyed showing you around and introducing you to some of the crew.

Sailors who lived and worked on the seas expected payment for their labour, and episode 4 of our podcast explores how - and when - they could expect it!

Did anyone who visited our museum today spot a turtle in @PHDockyard ?

If so, let us know so we can reunite her with her family.
