[MR] BBC: Mary Rose Sailor's Face Reconstructed

[Groff, Garth (ggg9y)]

Noble Friends,

The new home of the Tudor ship Mary Rose has opened in Portsmouth: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-22691645 . This story features a slide show presenting various artifacts. Also available is a separate picture show, "Life and Death on the Mary Rose": http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-22625898 .

Also offered is an illustrated/interactive story showing a cut-away view of the ship and information about individual crew members: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-22639505 .

A separate and fascinating video showing how the sailor's face was reconstructed can be viewed (after the mandatory commercial message) at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22704980 .

Be sure to check out some of the other Mary Rose resources in the links section of these stories. Among them is a link to the Vasa, a similarly reconstructed Swedish warship.

There is enough cool stuff here to keep a Scadian busy for an hour or two!

Yours Aye,

Lord Mungo Napier, The Archer of Mallard Lodge
