The Mary Rose was a famous English carrack warship built for King Henry VIII between 1509 and 1511, serving as a flagship in several naval campaigns. Renamed and rebuilt after being damaged, it was famously sunk in a skirmish against the French fleet during the Balltle of the Solent on July 19, 1545. The well-preserved wreck was raised from the seabed in 1982, and both the ship's timbers and thousands of recovered artifacts are now displayed at the Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth, England, offering insights into Tudor life and naval technology.
