520    "The raising of the Mary Rose in 1982 was a remarkable 
       feat of archaeology and her subsequent preservation and 
       display at Portsmouth a triumph of technical skill and 
       imagination. She is more than a relic, however. She has a 
       story to tell, and her sinking in the Solent in 1545, when
       under attack by the French, and the reasons for it, have 
       intrigued historians for generations. With the benefit of 
       access to her remains, archaeologists have been able to 
       slowly unravel the mystery of her foundering on a calm 
       summer's day in July 1545. This new book by one of the 
       country's leading experts on the Mary Rose contains much 
       that is published for the first time. It has the first 
       full account of the battle in which Henry VIII's warship 
       was sunk, and tells the stories of the English and French 
       admirals. It examines the design and construction of the 
       ship and how she was used, and develops themes begun when 
       he was earlier commissioned by the Mary Rose Trust to 
       write the multi-volume history of the ship. He shows for 
       the first time conclusively that the French fleet arrived 
       unexpectedly to seize the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth a 
       day later than was once believed, that the many bodies 
       found in the wreck reflect her at action stations, and 
       that the ship had had an extra deck added and was 
       therefore more unstable than was previously thought. 
       Finally, the author makes it clear who was responsible for
       the loss of the Mary Rose, after describing what happened 
       onboard, deck by deck, in her last moments afloat. The 
       fascinating revelation will intrigue the general reader as
       well as the historian and archaeologist and the book is 
       set to become the last word on the career of this most 
       famous of ships."--|cProvided by Freading.
