Raising of the Mary Rose (1982)

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

I'm an American but this is fantastic. The sense of love and pride the British people obviously felt bringing her back home. Truly amazing!

I remember watching the rise of the Mary Rose. I thought it would come up as it went down. lol.

Mad to think I was only 3 months old

[@ant4179]

Remember watching this as a six year old. I distinctly remember the whole operation nearly went pear-shaped (see 19:38) when the cradle partially collapsed!

[@adrianking3634]

i was also 6 at the time. I've been to see it. was way more impressive than i was expecting. victory is also bloody amazing.

@@adrianking3634 I ended up becoming an archaeologist - looking back now, perhaps this was the catalyst!

Fully out of the water and it could be seen that her hull still held water.

This ship changed the world made the usa took out Spain and France arming the ship basically it was a floating gun platform, the first heavily armed gun ship big bronze cannons truly the beginning of an industrial age like never scene in human history, Britain's colonialism was unparalleled

[@martinkirby3100]

This ship was a grave of hundreds of people and I think raising it was desecration of the grave but it should be either rebuilt or restored fully in honor of the dead
