• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Took the family to see it some years ago. The ship was being sprayed continuously with liquid preservative 24 hours a day. Your picture shows they may have ceased the spraying, unless it was a temporary stop for inspection.

A vast amount of equipment and personal items, including skeletons, were brought up with the ship.

The longbows found aboard were a fantastic find. Some have been tested by longbowmen today and the draw pull is far in excess as was believed used at the time.

One of the most marvellous sights my old eyes have seen, I can tell you.

'See Naples and die'? Forget it!....
