Winter Lecture: The Battle of the Solent and the sinking of the Mary Rose

Dr Dominic Fontana FRGS FSA will be talking to us about the Battle of the Solent and the sinking of the Mary Rose. I am expecting a very interesting talk as he is tailoring it for a sailing audience who know the waters. He promises LOTS of pictures and maps/charts!
