They say that the UK is a nation of dog lovers, and our surveys confirm that - our ship's dog, Hatch, frequently comes second in visitor's most memorable exhibits (after the ship, of course!) But who was he, and why was he on the Mary Rose?
Find out more at MaryRose.org/Hatch
Happy Towel Day!
While we're all stuck indoors why not bring the world of the Mary Rose to your home through the medium of LEGO!
We have a number of models to make, with instructions for making them yourselves. Don't worry if you don't have all the pieces, you can always improvise a new, better model!

Stuck at home with nothing better to do? Get crafty with our things to make and do!
Stuck at home, and want the kids to do something more interesting that watch vlogs or play games all day?
Try some of our fun things to make and do! From Pop-up Ships to colouring and science experiments, there's something for everyone (even kids at heart!)
What do you think this was used for? Let us know what you think, and we’ll reveal the correct answer at 4:30pm!
It’s a gunner’s rule, used to determine the weight of iron shot based on its diameter. The markings aren’t units of distance, they’re units of weight (presumably pounds).
It’s a pretty sophisticated piece of kit, so if you got that, we doff our caps to you!

Who likes their puns super-niche?
So, who reckons they know what these are?
They’re rather small, only about three centimetres in length, but we found rather a lot of them, and many of you probably have them on you as you read this! Answers tomorrow, and no prizes, it’s just for fun! #artefacts #museums #museum #MaryRose #maryrosemuseum #MysteryObject #Tudor #HenryVIII #clothing
Answer Time!
They're called aiglets, and they're the little tubes that go on the end of your laces to make threading them easier. The one shown below is one of the few that is still attached to its original lace.
Unlike modern ones, ours are made of brass rather than plastic...

Discover the story of CJ Sansom's historical novel series, and how it connects with the story of Henry VIII's favourite warship...
Are you a fan of the Shardlake series by C J Sansom?
If so, you've probably noticed that the Mary Rose makes quite a significant appearance in Heartstone, the fifth book in the series.
C J Sansom, the creator of Shardlake, actually consulted with our team when he was writing Heartstone, so the story contains quite accurate mentions about artefacts, events and the Mary Rose.
Today is Christmas Card Day, so why not celebrate by making your own Mary Rose themed Christmas Cards?
Visit the link below, download and print the templates and colour in one of five Tudor-themed designs, from Angels recovered from the Mary Rose to our ship's dog, Hatch!

Celebrate Christmas with Hatch the dog as he embarks on a new adventure for the Mary Rose's Tudor ratter!
Hatch, our ship's dog, only spent one Christmas on the Mary Rose, but how did it go? Our team have written a story about what may have happened that day...
Famous faces take their best mate, their mum, their neighbour (whoever they want) for an afternoon at a favourite museum or gallery. As well as getting a peek behind the scenes, seeing what makes a museum tick, it's also the starting point for some great conversations about life, the universe and everything. As well as a chance to eat lots of cake in the cafe. Meet Me at the Museum is published by Art Fund, the UK’s national charity for art, which raises money for museums and galleries through the National Art Pass – a neat little card that gets you free or reduced-price entry to hundreds of great cultural venues and exhibitions around the country. The podcast is produced by Whistledown.
Check out the Art Fund podcast "MeetMeAtTheMuseum", where Lucy Porter and Joe Wells come and visit The Mary Rose! Will they be impressed? Download the podcast and find out!
Was the Mary Rose sunk by GHOSTS?!?!?!?
(SPOILERS: Of course not, but Halloween...)

A blog by Alice Mew, Collections Volunteer, who while collating and researching some of the photographed artefacts was drawn to images that shed light on Tudor Beliefs and Superstition, Witchcraft, and Religion.
Having now been with the Collection Volunteers team for just shy of 2 years, I’ve begun to realise that some of my favourite photographs I’ve scanned have been of the smaller, domestic objects. At first, it’s difficult to identify these artefacts on the photographic contact sheet. But once the frame has been scanned, you can make out a small wooden bowl with markings carved into its surface. It’s a similar feeling with the underwater photographs that capture objects and the ship insitu. Once the film has made its way through the scanner, it’s fascinating to gain insights into the processes that lead to a diver memorialising some rosary beads as they were originally encountered underwater within a photograph.
Reflections on both the underwater images and the artefact photographs function as quieter, contemplative moments in the scanning room, in which I find myself looking at the photographs for a while to decipher the subject, the context, and the meaning. It’s what I enjoy most about digitisation, and it’s exciting to know that others will have this very exact opportunity to experience as the archive becomes more accessible.
As I began to collate and research some of the photographed artefacts for the blog, I found I was drawn to images that shed light on Tudor Beliefs and Superstition, Witchcraft, and Religion. (And yes, it’s purely coincidence this blogpost is brought to you on Halloween…)
Do they still have School assemblies?
