Of the guns recovered from the wreck, one — measuring 3.3m in length and made of bronze — is inscribed with the names of the brothers who made it: John and Robert Owen. Only 5 of the Owen brother’s guns are known to survive today. The inscription reads ‘ROBERT AND JOHN OWYN BRETHERYN BORNE IN THE CYTE OF LONDON THE SONNES OF AN INGLISH MADE THYS BASTARD ANNO DNI 1537′ (the term ‘bastard’ here refers to the non-standard design of the gun).

Between 1836 and 1840, Charles and John Deane — pioneering diving engineers and inventors of the diving helmet – recovered several guns from the Mary Rose. Like those found in the 20th century investigation, all were loaded and ready to fire.

Launched in 1511, the Mary Rose was intended to be the flagship of King Henry VIII's fleet. She was a new breed of warship with purpose-built gun-ports that made her a fearsome floating fortress. But on 19 July 1545, for reasons still unknown, she sank in the Solent whilst leading 60 ships against the French.5 Oct 2012

The Mary Rose was King Henry VIII's favourite warship and he named the ship after his sister. The ship was built in 1509, the year Henry VIII came to the throne.

Mary Rose sauce (known in some areas as cocktail sauce or seafood sauce) is a British condiment made from a blend of tomatoes, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and pepper. A simpler version can be made by merely mixing tomato ketchup with mayonnaise.

There’s a common misconception that the Mary Rose sank on her maiden voyage. In fact, she was a successful warship, in the service of Henry VIII for 34 years, almost the entire duration of his reign, and fought in three wars.
