The Mary Rose was a galleon of the English Navy, built in 1555-56. She was rebuilt during 1589. As all this was before 1660, the use of the prefix "HMS" is incorrect, as this was not used in the English Navy at that time. Her complement was 250 comprising 150 mariners, 30 gunners and 70 soldiers.
She was condemned in 1618 and expended as part of a wharf at Chatham Dockyard.
