The Mary Rose 25th AnniversaryYou are in: Hampshire > History > Local History > The Mary Rose 25th Anniversary > Mary Rose - Video  Mary Rose - VideoOver 60 million people watched transfixed as live BBC television pictures of the Mary Rose emerging from the grey waters of the Solent were beamed around the world. Re-live some of the drama and suspense with BBC South's video archive.
BBC South followed the raising of the Mary Rose from the initial discovery of the wreck, through the developing plans for it's salvage and eventual lifting from the seabed. The 'Tudor time capsule' yielded thousands of artifacts which have given a fascinating insight into life in Tudor times and the documentary followed the discovery and restoration of some of the items. When the time came to lift the Mary Rose, presenter Bruce Parker commentated on the moments when the timbers broke the surface for the first time in 437 years, heralded by the firing of the cannon at Southsea Castle. last updated: 05/03/2008 at 12:50 SEE ALSOYou are in: Hampshire > History > Local History > The Mary Rose 25th Anniversary > Mary Rose - Video |
