Portsmouth plays a large part in the story of the Mary Rose - she was built here, she sank defending Portsmouth from invasion in 1545 and, upon her return to the surface in 1982, this was where she made her new home.
That's why we're backing Portsmouth’s bid to become UK City of Culture 2029!

Galava Roman Fort, Ambleside from the air. On the shores of Lake Windermere, Cumbria England. I couldn't resist the light and the location - despite the cold.

In 2025 our conservation team removed 1.4kg of dust from the Mary Rose.
This is the equivalent of;
• half a house brick
• 30 golf balls
• 200 human eyes
• 1500 jelly beans
or just over one human brain, if you've been following these over the years.

#OnThisDay. 19th July 1545, The Mary Rose sank during the Battle of the Solent, just a few miles from the coast of Portsmouth.
Of her 500 crew, only around 30-40 were saved. The Mary Rose Museum is dedicated to those who lost their lives that day.

When President Zelensky is next in the company of Trump or Vance - why not ask them how they’d feel if Putin’s troops crossed the Bering Sea & invaded the USA? It’s only about 12 miles, so perfectly possible. Maybe, only maybe, only then might they begin to understand how ‘being invaded’ feels!

Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
