When Henry VIII’s flagship, the Mary Rose, re-surfaced in 1982 after 437 years under water, the event was witnessed live by television audiences in excess of 60 million around the world. It was a monumental moment for maritime archaeology and a major advance in our understanding of the Tudor period. Following the successful recovery of the Ship and more than 19,000 artefacts, the fascinating story of life onboard was revealed. The Mary Rose is indeed a unique time capsule and one of the world’s most precious heritage icons.

For the past quarter of a century, the Mary Rose Trust has conserved the artefacts, displaying a small number in its museum within the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and lending individual items to exhibitions. Now, for the first time outside Portsmouth, a major exhibition of artefacts is to be mounted, in London, through a partnership between Whitgift School, the Mary Rose Trust, the Whitgift Foundation and Croydon Council.
