Documentary maker Ross Kemp is joining some of the original divers who helped raise The Mary Rose to present a ground-breaking new interactive experience Dive The Mary Rose 4D.
The immersive once in a lifetime adventure will help visitors re-live the untold story of the world’s most famous shipwreck from the finding, excavating, and raising 40 years ago.
Experience the smells, sounds and newly created footage to simulate the diving experience in never-before-used technology showcasing the world’s largest ever maritime excavation and raising.
All the narrators involved in the film, including Ross Kemp, have dived on the wreck site. Many of them, helped recover 19-thousand unique Tudor artefacts to add to the already impressive collection housed at The Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
Original archive footage includes His Majesty King Charles III (formerly HRH Prince of Wales), diving with the excavation team 40 years ago, before The Mary Rose was raised in a spectacular maritime salvage and recovery.
Laying undiscovered for hundreds of years, entombed within the seabed, the wreck was finally located by divers in 1971. It took over ten years of excavation, over 500 divers and some 28-thousand dives before the remains of the hull could be raised.
An estimated global TV audience of 60 million watched live in October 1982 as the remains of the ship made it to the surface after 437 years.
