Historic Dockyard: Mary Rose
Description
Rescued from the silt of the Solent in the 1980's the job of replacing all the water in the timbers of the ship with wax was finally completed in April 2013 and at the time of visiting the ship was undergoing a four to five year drying process, after which it will be preserved for centuries to come. The museum housing the ship and artefacts has been designed so that once the drying process is complete the wall that separates the ship from visitors can be removed and the whole space become one, artefacts and reconstructed ship on one side, the original timbers on the other.
