This famous Tutor ship wreck has delivered to our century a host of fascinating artifacts and human remains, preserved since the 16th century in the mud and silt of the Solent. This book takes us step by step through what we now know of the actual sinking and how it settled into the bottom. For anyone familiar with this sinking or anyone interested in the life of Henry VIII, this should be a really enjoyable read. Highly recommended. If you get a chance to visit the wreck in England, it has been preserved, and the museum is filled with recovered artifacts, many of which have been photographed and appear in this book.
