One of the most compelling aspects of the Mary Rose’s recovery is the wealth of artefacts that provide a glimpse into Tudor life at sea. Among these are several navigation items and tools that reveal how sailors of the era charted their courses and navigated the often-treacherous waters. This talk will highlight the reality of 16th century navigation by examining these items.The Mary Rose’s recovery is more than a testament to advanced archaeology; it is a window into the past. The ship and her artefacts provide invaluable insights into Tudor-era technology, warfare, and daily life. The meticulous preservation work continues to inspire historians, scientists, and visitors from around the world.
Today, the Mary Rose Museum serves as a reminder of the ship’s storied past and the ingenuity of her recovery. The navigation tools, in particular, illustrate the evolving art and science of maritime navigation during a transformative era in naval history.
