The Mary Rose in the Anthony Roll. Anthony Anthony, a clerk of the Ordnance Office, completed his illuminated munitions inventory of Henry VIII’s fifty-eight ships in 1546, by which time the Mary Rose was at the bottom of the Solent. This is the only contemporary image of the ship, distinguished by the rose emblem at the bow. The MS was given by Charles II to Samuel Pepys, in whose library at Magdalene College, Cambridge, it is preserved. This illustration accompanies document 58. (The Master and Fellows of Magdalene College, Cambridge)
The ship’s watch bell. Cast in bronze with the Flemish inscription ‘IC BEN GHEGOTEN INT YAER MCCCCCX’ (‘I was made in the year 1510’), this was probably with Mary Rose throughout her serving life. The bell can be heard in the galleries opposite the ship, rung every half hour to mark time. (Mary Rose Trust)
Eroded and worn, the ship’s emblem – the carved Tudor rose depicted in the Anthony Roll. Together with the stem of the ship, this was one of the many Tudor objects found between 2003 and 2005 during excavations searching for remains of the detached forecastle. Shown below it is a modern reconstruction. (Mary Rose Trust)
Wooden cover and base for a compass, chart sticks and dividers with their case. (Stephen Foote)
Gold angels of 23 carats depicting a ship on the reverse, produced between 1542 and 1545. Each was worth 8s, much the same as an ordinary seaman’s monthly pay, and the relatively few that were found must have belonged to the officers. (Mary Rose Trust)
