You are invited to join us for our July social morning at the George Street Centre, Ryde, and enjoy a talk by Dr Dominic Fontana, FRGS FSA. Dominic has over 40 years involvement in the Mary Rose maritime archaeological project including five years working as part of the archaeological team.

The image comes from the Cowdray engraving showing the sinking of the Mary Rose, Southsea Castle and Henry VIII himself on horseback.
