The raising of the Mary Rose in 1982 made headline news. As an archaeological event it ranked alongside Schliemanns excavations at Troy or Arthur Evanss discovery of Knossos, and so much information has since been gleaned from the wreck and its contents that there is an overwhelming tendency to treat the ship as a "time-capsule", like some Tudor burial site. But the Mary Rose is not just an archaeological relic. She is a warship that was revolutionary in her time and, despite being most famous for her loss in battle, a ship that had served her monarch for 34 years, almost the length of his reign.

This book tells the full story of the construction and career of the ship, placing it firmly within the colorful context of Tudor politics, court life and the developing administration of a permanent navy. However, it also brings the story down to the present day, with chapters on the recovery and the new ideas and information thrown up by the massive program of archaeological work since undertaken.

Written by the Development Director of The Mary Rose Trust and heavily illustrated from the massive resources of the Trust, this is a book which will appeal to general reader and specialist alike.

All most of us ever need to know about Henry VIII's navy,

An interesting book but with a somewhat misleading title. This is a fascinating book about the development of English sea power during Henry VIII's reign. But the Mary Rose and the 1545 Battle of the Solent during which it was lost occupy only the last four of the 15 chapters. So if you want detail about the ship and its recovery then something like 'The Mary Rose' by Margaret Rule might be more useful.

Having said that I found the rest of the book interesting, especially the way Tudor warships were constructed and maintained. The detailed description of life in the Tudor navy was also interesting. The book succeeds in putting the Mary Rose into its historical context. But there is a lot of context and not so much about the Mary Rose.

So recommended as a broad view of Henry's navy.

A colourful, well written and (especially) well balanced account

This is an excellent book, very nicely produced, though it is not large format and is perhaps a bit expensive at the £25 cover price. There are many illustrations throughout, mixed in with the text, most of them in colour- although generally they are rather small in size. Mr Childs sets out to describe the ship and her construction, though I'd have liked to have seen her statistics given in clear, tabular form.

The Mary Rose is referred to as a carrack, but this is missleading. In his book on the Tudor Navy Mr Childs quotes her keel length as 96ft, but here it is measured at 32 metres- which is close to the 106ft given my Peter Marsden in his book on Mary Rose. The point is important because at 106ft the keel length to beam ratio becomes 2.7:1 and it should have been pointed out that this is the same as the Elizabethan Ark Royal and similar to many other 'race built' galleons of that time. In fact the hull form of Mary Rose is quite unlike the average commercial carrack (ratio usually about 2.2:1), the main thing distinguishing her form from the later galleons being her high castles, especially forward. In reality she was a fine sailing ship and every inch a modern warship of her time.

There is a chapter on armament and this tries to make reasonable sense of the confusing 'mix' of old style breach loaders and modern cast bronze cannon and culverine- a mix that changed constantly over the years. There are also interesting chapters describing and picturing equipment and the life led by the men who manned her: this is not really my own interest, but of course the wreck revealed much we did not previously know- mostly demonstrating how 'ordinary' and identifiable most things were- even down to a backgammon board.

The history of the ship is largely the history of Henry's three wars against France and this is well told. Mr Childs reminds us that Henry was not a very pleasant man and no great warrior: were it not for his fine new navy and those six wives he would have provided only a 'footnote' in history. Mercifully there are only single chapters detailing the loss of the ship and her recovery (starting at page 163): most Mary Rose books lead one to believe nothing else about her mattered other than those events, an impression Mr Childs is very keen to dispel and he does so very well.

If you want a book that gives a balanced account of the 'whole story' then in my opinion this is the best to date, and so worth the five stars: it is also acceptable value at the reduced price on offer from Amazon.

Interesting to know the part played by ships early on and how Henry VIII squandered money. How our navy began.
