This volume is concerned primarily with a detailed description of
the Mary Rose and how she operated as a functional warship.
Commencing with a discussion of the place of the Mary Rose in the
development of warships; her recovery and recording are described
and the method by which she has been reconstructed on paper.
Evidence is presented for how the ship was designed and built and
how the timbers were fashioned. The structure of the ship and her
rigging as she was in 1545 are described deck by deck and lavishly
illustrated, including reconstructed deck plans. Operational
aspects such as steering, mooring, anchoring, the ship's boats,
navigation and the removal of water are discussed. A summary of the
ship's armaments is provided and her fighting capabilities
considered. Evidence for how the ship was altered during her use,
and how she might be reconstructed as a whole, are examined and the
nature of and reasons for her sinking reviewed. The volume
concludes with a summary of some principal areas of research that
remain to be addressed.
