    No, everything that burned was original (apart from the tent built for the current works), just that not everything original got burned.

    It seems that the top deck, masts and deck houses had been removed and put in storage to allow works on the ships structure to take place. All the remaining structure was seriously damaged.
    I am not qualified to give the above advice!

    The original point and click interface by
    Smith and Wesson.

    Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

      I think we'll see Patricia Hewitt on the telly saying we should have brought in the smoking ban a lot ealier and then nothing like this would have happened.

        unfortunately acts like this bring more valid points to the whole concept of a nanny state, as an act like this proves that idiots should not be in charge of any flame producing objects, so what better way to enforce an outright ban on smoking.

          At least the Mary Rose is safe. It's constantly being hosed down.
