Uuummm….could be assumethat she sank in that position,so to speak?or could she have rotated on the way down?I guess the question is….if you could see the ship sinking today would it be starboard side down?? |

I've got a print of the old painting showing the sinking up in my study--my wife was a serious Tudor freak--and it's listing heavily to port. But there ARE books on the subject, not to mention the museum. |

Here we go: "Early in the battle something went wrong. While engaging the French galleys the Mary Rose suddenly heeled (leaned) heavily over to her starboard (right) side and water rushed in through the open gunports." from wikipedia, but footnoted to Peter Marsden, Sealed in Time (2003). |

Sank after healing to starboard (cause? several to choose from). Came to rest on her starboard side (as indicated by the ship herself on display). Water too shallow for her to rotate while sinking. |

However there were several attempts to raise the ship including running cables from windlasses on shore to the ship – they eventually pulled the masts out entirely. The Tudor era salvagers also managed to dig tunnels under the ship and get cables under the hull and tried to use barges and the tide to raise her but by the time they did that she was too stuck fast in the clay mud bottom. Quite a feat for 'free divers', the cables were left in place to be found by the modern excavators. |
