A French fleet, under the leadership of Admiral d'Annebault,
enters the Solent, encroaching on English territory. England's
finest warship, the Mary Rose, based at Portsmouth, attempts to
retaliate but heels over in the harbour and sinks. The wreck is to
remain there for the next 450 years, until it was raised from the
seabed for examination in 1982.
