MARY ROSE GUN-SHIELD
History of War
|Issue 147
During the excavation of Henry VIII's flagship the Mary Rose, divers discovered the wooden elements of up to eight shields which would originally have been fitted with matchlock guns
-
On 2 December 1981, divers at the wreck of the Mary Rose found a convex circular object 22in (56cm) in diameter, formed of two layers of wooden laths, each 0.1–0.2in (3-5mm) thick. Copper strips decorated with an oak-leaf pattern radiated from a hole at the centre, and staining around the hole suggested that a metal boss would have originally been present.
