This sword has a great legend associated with it. The Mary Rose sank off Portsmouth in 1545. It remained there for nearly 450 years. When it was raised in 1972, a basket hilted sword was found under the hull. Fortunately it was still intact even after all those years under the seabed. This full scale replica is used by the Mary Rose Trust as a presentation piece for their Flag Officers.
