[MR] BBC: Mary Rose Crew Were Superb Athletes

[Garth Groff via Atlantia]

Noble Friends,

Artifacts, including the bones of some crew, from the shipwreck of the 
Mary Rose have gone on display in Swansea. Researchers there describe 
the crew, particularly the archers (many of whom were probably Welsh), 
as "superb athletes". For the brief story and several interesting photos 
go to http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-37948121 .

Yours Aye,
