You're a young sailor aboard the ill-fated Mary Rose, pride of
Henry VIII's fleet. You'll learn the ropes (literally!) as you
explore the famous ship's rigging, its diverse and occasionally
motley crew, its food supply and weaponry for battle. You'll also
be present for the ship's tragic sinking outside Portsmouth Harbour
- but will you survive this tragic event? The humorous
cartoon-style illustrations and the narrative approach placing
readers at the centre of the narrative history encourage readers to
get emotionally involved with the characters, aiding their
understanding of what life would have been like aboard the Mary
Rose. The title also covers the salvage attempts carried out by
African divers like Jacques Francis in the Tudor period, and
subsequent attempts, including the successful raising of the Mary
Rose in 1982. This title has been written in consultation with the
Mary Rose Trust to ensure that its content is as accurate as
possible. Informative captions, a complete glossary and an index
make this title an ideal introduction to the conventions of
non-fiction texts for young readers.
