At least one of the officers on board the Mary Rose owned a pewter chamber pot, presumably because he didn't want to make his way to the heads when nature called.

The wreck of a 15th Century ship was found in the mud of #Newport's River #Usk in 2002 and experts believe it is as significant a find as the #MaryRose.

Now researchers have found timbers from the hull of the former wine-trading vessel were made from oak trees that were felled in the winter of 1457-58.
