Still Waters Posted April 30, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Scientists have stopped spraying the 500-year-old wreck of the Mary Rose with a protective was for the first time in nearly two decades, an historic milestone in the conservation of Henry VIII's Tudor warship. Here is a factfile on the ship's history. http://www.telegraph...te-warship.html http://www.telegraph...se-warship.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keel M. Posted April 30, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Just a heads up, Still Waters, you might change that "protective was" to "protective wax". Makes much more sense then! That aside, they've been spraying the wax on there since 1982 - holy cow!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freetoroam Posted April 30, 2013 #4 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Very cool.....can I just say that another "protection wax" story is that of Saint Bernadette in Never, France. The sight will blow your mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draugr Posted May 10, 2013 #5 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Wasn't she a beautiful ship. Didn't expect ship sexiness when I clicked this, but here I am, pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander CMG Posted May 30, 2013 #6 Share Posted May 30, 2013 More than 30 years after it was raised from the seabed - and almost 500 years since it sank - the secrets of Henry VIII's flagship, the Mary Rose, are being revealed to the public - along with the faces of its crew.Just yards from where it was first constructed from 600 oak trees near Portsmouth's naval docks in 1510, the wreck of the Tudor warship now stands on view in its new £35m home.
