Dog skeleton from Mary Rose displayed in Portsmouth
A dog which sailed aboard the Mary Rose ship 465 years ago is to take up residence in the Mary Rose Museum at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
The animal’s skeleton, which has been reconstructed by staff at the Mary Rose Trust, will go on display from Friday 26 March.
The dog was discovered trapped in the sliding door of the carpenter’s cabin of the Mary Rose, which sank in 1545.
The dog, named Hatch by museum staff, was probably used as a ratter.
