The Mary Rose

[SirChristopherMings]

Unable to get to PA, and unwilling to make myself useful at work, I came across a site I thought was pretty neat about the Elizabethan Age warship, The Mary Rose.

One of the things I learned from it was how to load a breech loading gun. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate_plain.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="3" border="0" alt="pirate_plain.gif" />

I thought you might enjoy this tour as well.

I found this link, (I was really bored at work...) on this site, which I am sure will be of interest to somebody around here.

Wow, nice find, that Mary Rose site! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

Port is part of the National Maritime Museum's website; wonderful information there, too. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Sir Christopher, you ought to "practice work avoidance" more often! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Sir Chris. I found the Mary Rose site to be very interesting. As far as model ships go, this is one of the few ships I have not built. Probably should look into this.
