The Fate of Mary Rose tells the story of how one of England's most famous warships was lost at sea and its subsequent, fateful journey home. Captained by John Hawkins, the ship set sail from Portsmouth in 1545 with a crew of 250 men, only to disappear without a trace a year later. With only circumstantial evidence to go on, the search for the ship and its crew becomes a race against the clock as harsh weather and treacherous seas take their toll. Ultimately, the fate of the Mary Rose and her crew remains a mystery, one that will fascinate readers for centuries to come.; 8vo; 208 pages.
