Any shipwreck can be aptly described as a time capsule; a representation of a precise moment in time. The shipwreck 'Mary Rose', one of the world's great archaeological investigations, is a prime example. Sunk in 1545, in sight of her owner King Henry VIII, a full half of the ship lay buried and preserved in the Solent sea bed until its discovery by divers 426 years later. It is now displayed in a magnificent museum alongside Nelson's 'Victory' in Portsmouth Naval Dockyard. Patrick Baker, specialist maritime archaeological photographer, has enjoyed a 50 year involvement with the 'Mary Rose' project and will show and tell of the history, discovery, excavation, salvage and years of preservation work involved.
