The sailor in the picture is holding a sounding lead. This was used to find how deep the water was. Why did the pilot need to know that? |
Here is a drawing of one of the weights found on the Mary Rose.
There is a hole
in the top of the weight for the line to be strung through. At the bottom
is a small hole that would have held a piece of sticky tallow (animal
fat). |
