If we keep preserving things we’re going to run out of room to store it.

Saw this awhile back about some regarding ship building techniques and how they evolved. This is based on information from wrecks found in the Black Sea.
I couldnt format the images properly to post, but its well worth a read.

The Mary Rose was Henry VIII’s Spruce Goose. Bigger is not always better; depends on the talent of the designer/builder.

I watched some videos the BBC prepared for kids on the history of the British people and from it I learned that probably 1/3 or more of ancient Brits were black. By tudor times I assume it was probably up to 60%. So those facial recreations are definitely wrong.

Marine archaeology has advanced considerably over that last 50 years. My last visit to Mary Rose was early on in the restoration. Much has been done since those early days.
Kansas City has a 1850’s steamboat, the Arabia, that sank in the Missouri River and was left in a farm field when the course of the river changed. The preservation is remarkable, some of the foodstuffs were edible and the trade goods looked like they just came from the factory. The ship was well preserved, but only a portion of it was conserved. Well worth a visit and closer to Portsmouth for those on this side of the pond.
