1) Read the article. Choose the correct answers for the questions
he Mary Rose was a great warship of Tudor England (the period from 1485 to 1603).
T
She was built in Portsmouth, a historic English port. The Mary Rose had served King
Henry VIII well and had taken part in all three of his wars with the French. On July 19,
1545, the Mary Rose was just about to go into battle again with the rest of the English
fleet when she sank just off the coast of Portsmouth.
obody really knows why she sank. It might have been because of French gunfire, as
N
the French claimed at the time, or maybe the ship was overloaded with men and guns
and was simply too heavy. A popular theory is that the weather was very calm, and, all
o f a sudden, a freak gust of wind blew the ship over. Today, new evidence suggests that
the crew were perhaps to blame for leaving the gun ports open and letting water in.
Most of the crew died and the Mary Rose lay undiscovered at the bottom of the sea for
300 years until 19th century divers found the wreck and recovered some guns from
the ship.
I n the 1960s, with better diving equipment, divers were able to bring around 20,000
o bjects to the surface. The great dream of raising the Mary Rose off the seabed finally
came true in 1982, and her remains were put on show in Portsmouth’s Historic
Dockyard. Only half of the ship was recovered because the rest had been destroyed by
tides and saltwater. The half that had sunk into the seabed and lain covered in mud for
centuries was well preserved. This part was raised and sprayed continuously with
chemicals to preserve it. A new multi-million pound museum, which is built around the
ship, was opened in the summer of 2013. The public is able to learn the history of why
the ship was built, as well as hear the theories about why she sank and also see
thousands of the recovered objects.
s you walk around the museum, you are looking at a Tudor time capsule, much like
A
stepping back in time to Tudor England. You can see not only the guns and weapons of
a warship, but all sorts of items that tell you how people at that time lived. There are
fascinating personal belongings such as combs, which even have some Tudor lice in
them! A manicure set, which probably belonged to an officer, is also on display and
shows that personal hygiene was important, at least to some of those on board.
Possibly the oldest violin in Europe is also on display, showing that the men probably
enjoyed music in their free time between battles.
S ome materials such as leather bags and shoes have remained in one piece and are in
good condition whereas metal items are missing because they have rusted away. There
a re leather flasks that the men used to drink from and wooden spoons used for eating
meals. Some remains of what they ate also exist in the form of bones from pigs and
cows. The skeleton of a dog, whose purpose was to kill the rats on board ship, is also
o n display, along with the bones of such a rat, which probably drowned along with the
crew. All this is just an exciting taste of things to come. The new Mary Rose Museum
will display even more fascinating examples of life on a ship over 450 years ago.
