Mary Rose secrets to be revealed

- By AINE FOX

The secrets of the Mary Rose could be revealed in a project it is hoped will help speed up scientific research.

For the first time detailed images of skulls found on the sunken Tudor warship have been released to a worldwide audience.

The boat sank in 1545 during the Battle of the Solent and was recovered 34 years ago.

It was found to contain thousands of bones, many giving clues to around 460 people on board who perished.

The digital project will also give members of the public the chance to view a 3D image of the skull belonging to the ship’s carpenter.
