Pieces of Britain's early naval history rise again (with video)
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57587172/pieces-of-britains-early-naval-history-rise-again/(CBS News) PORTSMOUTH, England - This may be the closest thing to time-traveling: In Portsmouth, England, the salvaged remains of Henry VIII's favorite warship, the Mary Rose, went on display Friday.
Sailors and ships lost in battle at sea are not often welcomed home again -- let alone with a fanfare.
But 468 years later, that's exactly what's happened.
It was in the waters off Portsmouth, England in the year 1545, that the Mary Rose was sunk while fighting off a French invasion fleet, taking more than 400 men with her.
