DOCUMENTARY: The Ghosts Of The Mary Rose: Revealed
ONE of Britain’s greatest maritime mysteries – the sinking of the Mary Rose in 1545 – is examined here.
We meet Professor Hugh Montgomery, a doctor who, as a young medical student, dived to the wreck to help recover some of the skeletons of the crew members who went down with the ship.
Now he returns to Portsmouth to examine three sets of bones and find out more about those who lost their lives, and also uncover a new theory about why the ship sank.
The mystery of the men who perished on board the warship has long plagued Montgomery, but he may now get the answers he has long been craving.
