The ship’s stem – a crucial structural piece of timber that curves upwards from the keel to define its bow – eluded underwater archaeologists until 2003. Having undergone excavation and conservation since then, the rediscovered stem can now finally be seen in the Weston Ship Hall, at the heart of the Mary Rose Museum.
This exciting addition to the award-winning museum finally allows you to see the length and curve of the ship’s bow, adding a crucial piece of the Mary Rose jigsaw. Also unveiled are the never-before-seen ship’s pump and another of her huge anchors, astonishing additions to one of the largest collections of Tudor objects in the world.
