The Mary Rose has outreach boxes for use by mainstream schools and special schools nationwide.  The packs have been designed for use by children who are unable through disability or distance to visit the Mary Rose Museum and Ship at the Historic Dockyard in Portsmouth, Hampshire.
DHL have kindly agreed to deliver these free of charge.

Mary Rose Outreach Box – based on members of the ship’s crew these boxes contain 15 replica artefacts as well as real rope and wood, plus additional resources such as books, posters and a teacher’s manual. These boxes are administered by education authorities spread around the United Kingdom. For those areas without a box contact the Mary Rose Trust direct. (See below Booking an Outreach Box)
