The operation to raise the Mary Rose captured the public imagination in October 1982. Neither HRH The Prince of Wales, Margaret Rule or anyone else will forget the moments when the hull broke the water, when the frame collapsed, when the ship came home.
Now John Selwyn Gilbert and Margaret Rule look back together on the whole story, and forward to plans to conserve the ship, with film of activity behind the scenes before the lift, and excerpts from the outside broadcast coverage and from the Chronicle films of the excavation.
