They followed the story quite closely as I recall, giving regular updates on the ship as it was meticulously examined and preserved. Blue Peter was always a bit like that though, wasn't it? I remember them making a big thing out of the fire at York Minster as well, with a competition to design some new ceiling ornaments. Yes, it certainly was.

First and foremost this site is meant to jog peoples memories about when they were growing up, rather than as an educational resource, but I see where you're coming from. For posts such as this one a few extra pictures certainly wouldn't go amiss, so I'll see what I can do in that area. Hello Lousy Lady.

Still, an impressive engineering feat! Thanks Jane, glad you like the blog. It was a bit of an anti-climax wasn’t it, when a few bits of wood were dredged up that didn’t really much resemble a boat.

That brings back memories. I recall seeing the BP footage of this, aged about 13 and being a huge Henry VIII fan being beside myself with anticipation for the sight of his flagship, fondly painted in my mind as being a riot of colour and treasure. I have to say I was completely despondent when the soggy timbers finally showed above the waves. I appreciate now that it was living history (and I've seen the original since at Portsmouth). But at the time, teenage philistine that I was, I really couldn't see what the fuss was about! Love your blog! Lord! That brings back memories.
