Details

Commands signalled on these high-pitched "Calls" carried much better than voice ever could, and were essential for the Bosun to communicate orders from the deck to his men handling the sails aloft. Our silver-plated replica cannot be tuned accurately, but looks right and pipes clearly. 5" long, supplied with hanging ribbon.

Mary Rose

On 19 July 1545, Henry VIII’s flagship Mary Rose sank, for reasons that are still not fully understood, just a few hundred yards from Portsmouth harbour. Over 400 years later her hull was rediscovered, buried in thick Solent mud and remarkably well-preserved - so well in fact that in 1982 it was possible to raise her from the seabed. She is now on display at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and, together with the smaller items found inside her, provides a unique insight into the life of the Tudor seaman.
