Shipwreck Blog: Mary Rose

She sank from the weight of...diversity.

Read the article. There were so many Spanish crewmen that couldn't speak English that they couldn't understand the order Close-o the hatch-o, Pedro when they heard it.

On a personal note, I was visiting Portsmouth, England, when the Brits first started salvaging the Mary Rose. HM the Prince of Wales (Charles) was in attendance, and actually donned diving gear to be part of the festivities.
