1. She was one of the first ships in naval history to fire a
broadside
2. She was King Henry VIII favourite ship.
3. She sank in 1545 in the Solent killing over 700 men during an
engagement with the French fleet.
4. The raising of the Mary Rose was the Worlds largest

HMS Mary Rose was an English carrack and one of the first to be able to fire a full broadside of cannons. The Mary Rose was well equipped with 78 guns (91 after an upgrade in 1536). Built in Portsmouth, England (1509–1510) she was thought to be named after King Henry VIII's sister Mary and the rose, the Tudor emblem. She was one of the earliest purpose-built warships to serve in the English Navy; it is thought that she never served as a merchant ship. She displaced 500 tons (700 tons after 1536), was 38.5 m long and 11.7 m abeam and her crew consisted of 200 sailors, 185 soldiers, and 30 gunners. Although she was the pride of the English fleet she was accidentally sunk in an engagement with the French July 19th 1545.

The Mary Rose was launched in 1511 and served as a flagship in King Henry VIII's fleet. She was one of a new breed of purpose-built warships equipped with gunports, which enabled artillery broadsides to be fired. She sank July 19 1545, and was raised in 82 . The cause of her demise is unknown.

It was a ship in Henry V111s navy . It was raised from the sea bed in Portsmouth in the 1980s. It should be common knowledge . God knows there has been enough about it since it was raised.

Sinking?
Being a not terribly good Tudor warship, apparently modified at the orders of Henry 8th and therefore top heavy and keeling over at the start of an engagement. Or so it is alleged.

The Mary Rose was King Henry 8th favourite war ship. It sank in, I think, The Battle of Trafalgar.
