( sunk by a gusty breeze 1400's?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Rose actually she went down in Solent Channel 19 July 1545 I like this story because of discovery of many well preserved English Longbows in the wreck..also the bones of a little frog kept in the water barrel ~ thinking then, that the frog would keep the water sweet.. also, imbedded in a jar of salve, the thumbprint of an apothecary/surgeon...fascinating....
