Its to the right. I cant get a direct link to the video :roll:

 

I can still remember seeing on the news when the Mary Rose was raised. One of the vivid memories I have was of the boots and some remains of a sailor who was crushed and drowned by a cannon when the ship capsized being brought up.

 

A similar thing occured when they salvaged the turret of USS MONITOR. When the ironclad's guns were raised from the turret, the salvage crew discovered the remains of a crewman who had been crushed when the ship capsized.

 

wow!!!
very interesting
BTW, i CAN get the video

 

It is interesting. I'm wondering if they'll ever figure out who she was, or if they plan to raise her.

 

Any pictures of that ?

 

not sure but try this link: http://www.maryrose.org/

 

Mary Rose.

The Mary Rose would have been more 'Intact' if she had not been blown up as a danger to shipping in the 1800's! :roll:

The Mary Rose at least was a working warship ,
the Swedish researcher mention the Vasa , famous for being the single biggest stuff up in military contracting in the world ,
it cost the then Swedish national budget and sank at launch


.

 

When Wasa was about to be raised, some finnish students made a prank:
They put a statue of 20th century Finnish runner Paavo Nurmi on the ship. It must have been a quite a puzzle for the archaelogists

 

You crazy Finn's, lol

haha, I just noticed Im a brig. general now, sweet. A totally meaningless rank, lol

Working on TCP2 platform in the Frigg field off Stavanger , we were told that falling in the water was death by hypothermia after no more than 10 minutes ,
a rigger fell 100 feet down the water , the rescue boat took 40 minutes to get him out ,
he swore at them copiously and with feelings and did not seems the worst for wear
When I queried the Norwegian safety officer , he shrugged his shoulders and said " Finn !! "
