| Although the wreck of the Mary Rose was raised twenty years ago, the excavations and conservation work and indeed the ship itself have never been published in full. Now the Mary Rose Trust, with the Heritage Lottery Fund is publishing the complete history of the project and the research up to the present day in five highly illustrated volumes, revealing a wealth of information covering all aspects of the ship. Sealed by Time: The Loss and Recovery of the Mary Rose traces the history of the Mary Rose from great naval vessel to ruinous shipwreck to an outstanding museum display. The Mary Rose was an extraordinary ship. Built to a new design, she was one of the first great British warships. Her career spanned all but a few years of Henry VIII's reign and she took place in most of his wars. Combining for the first time all that is known from contemporary documents and the archaeological evidence, Peter Marsden and a team of specialists give a fascinating and detailed overview of her history. They set out details of the circumstances of her building, participation in three wars with France, repairs and rebuilds, and finally the tragic sinking with massive loss of life in Portsmouth Harbour in 1545 as she prepared to encounter the French fleet one more time. Also described are the place of the ship in naval and seafaring history, the novel aspects of her shape and construction, how she performed at sea, her structure, rigging and armoury. Bringing the story up-to-date, further chapters describe the epic project to excavate and salvage the ship that culminated in the raising of the hull in 1982, an event watched by millions on television, and subsequently how the museum and display of the massive hull were created. Beautifully illustrated with contemporary paintings and documents as well as photos of the excavations and some of the 26,000 objects recovered, this will be of great interest to everyone with an interest in maritime archaeology, conservation, and the history of the period. 204p, b/w photos. line-drawings and figs throughout. |

| This beautiful, full-color guide brings alive the vessels and artifacts collected by the Institute of Nautical Archaeology and displayed at the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology in Bodrum, Turkey. Nearly 100 pages of stunning color photographs provide a glimpse into centuries of seafaring at one of the world's leading museums of underwater archaeology. Written by Dr. George F. Bass, the book covers his years of shipwreck excavations off the coast of Turkey. It will be a marvelous addition to your library. |

| International Journal of Nautical Archaeology |
| Editor: Valerie Fenwick |
| The themes of this Journal are seas, ships, cargoes and the sailors of the past as well as sunken harbours and changes in sea levels - subjects which have excited interest throughout history. The Journal keeps readers abreast of the latest explorations, discoveries and technical innovations in the field. Studies about ancient ships, harbours and cargoes, whether from excavations or documentary sources, will furnish new data for the naval architect, historian and archaeologist. Information on the well-preserved artifacts discovered through techniques of underwater archaeology is especially valuable, since these materials are seldom, if ever, found in excavations on land because of their perishable nature. |
| Other areas covered are underwater excavations, archaeology of sites in rivers, lakes and the sea, surveying techniques, reports of dives, legislation for protection of sites and conservation. |
| The Journal also features book reviews and notes and news on current excavations |
| IJNA is published semi-annually. Subscriptions are yearly. At the INA Seafarer Membership level, or above, a discount rate is available for IJNA. That rate is $60.00 annually.
