Ex
■npioyees spent five weeks this
working on an excavation
a an English warship that sank
^ ou r 400 years ago.
• rB In 1545, during the reign of
ISC $®enry VIII, the flagship, Mary
fflosc, mysteriously sank near
‘ u,Portsmouth as she went to battle
the French navy.
I Jim Baker, a staff member for
the environmental engineering
»ri division of the civil engineering
“ (fcpartment, and his wife, Bobbe,
aiphotographer for the Texas Agri
cultural Extension Service and
xperiment Station, helped
^archaeologists off the England
^ 'coast in the warship excavation,
■he is a graduate student in
anthropology.
.TB Margaret Rule, director of the
’"'. Mary Rose excavation, met the
"Bakers at an Underwater
1C mrchaeology Conference in New
3e ’ .‘Orleans. She asked them to join
1011 i the archaeology team and partici-
^ Mfpate in the project that has been
id e J underway for two years,
ring* With Jim having past experi-
pjjJence in computer graphics and his
1 wife having experience as a former
weelance photographer. Rule
he^ said, the husband and wife team
atiotBould have a great deal to offer the
snterlexcavation.
tionif com P u tier technology
ce Msed in the excavation helps map
and® 6 wreckage,” Jim said, “by
[graphic coordinances which de-
I termine where the artifacts of the
hip are located.
The decks and internal struc-
ures are weak, he said, and need
3 be mapped out before the di-
’ers remove them.
“This is one of the most exciting
xcavations going on now,” Jim
said, “because the ship carried the
latest weaponry and had the latest
designs for that time.”
“Other artifacts discovered in
the wreckage,” Bobbe said, “were
leather pouches, balance scales,
wooden pocket sundials and navi
gational instruments.
She said photographing such
rare artifacts often requires using a
variety of different films, such as
infrared, to bring out the details of
eroded print on the inside of a
book cover.
Documentation of artifacts and
computer graphics were not the
only work done by the Bakers.
They spent weekends on assign
ment for Braniff Airlines, photo
graphing and writing about their
travels in Southern England.
“But it wasn’t all work,” she
said. “We were able to see the
Royal Wedding of Prince Charles
and Lady Diana while in Eng
land.”
The recovery of the Mary Rose
is time consuming and an expen
sive project, Jim said, but most of
the work has been financed by the
Mary Rose Trust, a fund created
and headed by Prince Charles.
Next summer the remains of the
Mary Rose will be completely re
moved from the water and dis
played in Portsmouth, Bobbe
said. “It was an honor to be a part
of it,” she said.
