The Mary Rose Bell

Mary Rose

This bronze bell is one of the few objects that stayed on the Mary Rose throughout her career.
It was made in Malines near Antwerp, a town famous for casting bells.
The Flemish inscription running round it reads: 'IC BEN GHEGOTEN INT YAER MCCCCCX'- 'I was made
in the year 1510'- the year Henry VIII ordered the Mary Rose. (Mary Rose Museum)
