On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

A little bit of mid-morning lambing paddock tranquility, and some sun over the woods before the rain arrives.
