MUSEUM SHIPS
A. The Mary Rose was King Henry VIII's famous flagship, named after his sister Mary. In 1545, during the war against France, it sank near the English coast. The ship lay underwater for over 400 years. In October 1982, a special machine lifted the Mary Rose out of the sea. The event was watched live on television by 60 million people worldwide. The ship and all the objects found in it can be admired in the Mary Rose Museum located in Portsmouth.
B. The Cutty Sark, the fastest sailing ship of its time, has been visited by thousands of tourists since it was opened to the public in 1954. In 2007 the deck was damaged by fire, but fortunately most of the ship's original structure was saved. On board you will meet people dressed up as characters from the ship's past and hear their fascinating stories about the everyday activities of the ship's crew during their long journeys.
C. The Golden Hinde was the ship on which Sir Francis Drake sailed around the world between 1577 and 1580. It was originally known as the Pelican, but Drake renamed it. When it returned to Britain, the ship was put on public display in London. It remained there for 70 years until it was destroyed by wind, rain and water. In 1973 another Golden Hinde was built using traditional methods. It looks just like the one Drake sailed on. Through various practical activities on board, visitors can experience the life of a 16th-century sailor.
