Talk on Raising Mary Rose - By David Burden

A Talk in the ESSC Function Room on Raising The Mary Rose

by David Burden.

In David's own words:-

As a qualified SCUBA diver I wanted to do something more with my diving other than wreck or general sea dives. After meeting some of the team from the Mary Rose I was invited to dive on site, initially as a volunteer diver. I soon joined the team full time for the next 5 years, having given up my full time work as a cartographer/surveyor. I was appointed Chief Diver, then later qualified as a Commercial Diver, I was on the Salvage Team till the ship was raised. Following on from the Mary Rose I worked offshore in the North Sea as a diver, then became skipper/captain of survey vessels. When I retired I volunteered for National Coastwatch Institution, based at Gosport.
