Launched around 1449, and involved in the lucrative wine trade between portugal and bristol. it fell into the water whilst being repaired in newport dock. restoring the wood has taken the best part of two decades. the timbers split between south wales and here in portsmouth, the home of the mary rose, due to time, expertise and capacity restraints. each individual piece has got a lengthy process of restoration. the first being soaking to get rid of any impurities in the wood. second, the waxing to strengthen it up. and thirdly, the final process, which was in this freeze dryer for a number of months to harden it up. all in all, this process can take up to a year, if not longer, for any individual piece. this unique ship, there s only one place in the world you can come and see a ship from this period now and it s going to be newport, so it sits alongside mary rose, celebrating its 40th anniversary of its recovery this year. it sits alongside the mighty vasa from sweden.
