Tanzanite's Castle Full of Books

On this date in 1545, the ship Mary Rose sank off the coast of the Isle of Wright during a battle with the French.  The Vice-Admiral of the fleet was George Carew who went down with the ship.  Born around the turn of the century (1500 plus or minus a few years), Carew was rather wild as a young man but would later become a trusted military officer.  The exact cause of the ship's sinking is unknown, but a large portion of the hull was discovered in the 1970s and salvaged in 1982.  It contained thousands of artifacts from the period which are on display at the Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth.  The mister and I are thinking of making another trip to England in the fall - if we do, I think we'll try to check the museum out.
