Today we went with Colin's cousins Karen and Carey to Portsmouth Dockyards to see the 3 ships there. The Warrior, The Victory and The Mary Rose.
The Mary Rose Museum is a brand new state of the art home for the remains of henry VIII's flagship and an extraordinarly collection of artefacts recovered from the sea after 400 years. Only half the ship remains because it was buried in mud and was therefore preserved.
The museum is over 3 floors and each floor is looking through glass at a level on the ship. Each room contains a massive collection of artefacts, all preserved by the mud that the ship lay in.
The other two ships the Victory and the Warrior we were able to walk around the various decks of these ships.
