The Mary Rose, built five centuries ago and named after the favourite sister of Henry VIII, was a forerunner of today's battleships. She was defending England against a massive French invasion force in 1545 when, without warning, she capsized and slid under the waves, taking over 400 men with her.
A team of experts from the fields of shipbuilding, science, history and archaeology gather to study the evidence and try to pin down the reason for the disaster. Using a scaled-down model of the Mary Rose, forensic scientists reconstruct the ship's last voyage, and a tragic picture emerges of her final moments.
