The wreck of the Mary Rose. When she sunk she turned onto her side leaving one side exposed to the elements. This side rotted away but the other side, preserved in layers of silt, survived.
One of the many attractions at the dockyards in Portsmouth was the Mary Rose museum. This included the actual ship wreck of said boat, along with artefacts found on the boat, perspectives of the divers, and some great interactive experiences including a 3D movie (complete with glasses!) where you took the part of a diver discovering the Mary Rose and helping haul her to the surface.
At one point I was admiring how real the bubbles looked, until I reached out to touch them and found they were real. (there was a bubble machine operating!)

This was one of my favourite parts of the dockyards. Information was displayed in such a myriad of creative ways and it was a strange feeling looking at the colossal wreck
Extra information for you history buffs! Mary Rose was built for Henry Vlll in 1510-1511. She served for 34 years before sinking in battle, resulting in a catastrophic loss of life due to anti-boarding netting that prevented the hundreds of men onboard from escaping to safety! She was raised on 11 October 1982.
