What was Shakespeare's play about a shipwreck and storm at sea?
The play "Julius Caesar" has a storm in it.King Lear, The Tempest, Twelfth NightAdded by kas_447: Macbeth and Othello also have storms in them, but to a much milder degree. One storm in Macbeth is used to demonstrate the Wyrd Sisters' limited powers (they can't kill someone, but they can make their ship rock in a storm: Act 1 Scene 3 Lines 4-14) in a short snippet early on in the play. Also, when Duncan is murdered, all of Scotland is struck with bad weather. The storm in Othello is also never seen by the reader, but I believe Desdemona hears of Othello being on a ship at sea in a storm and fears for his life. I don't know the Act etc.

How is the Mary Rose ship related to Shakespeare?
The Mary Rose is a ship which foundered in 1645 in the reign of Henry VIII. It was well before Shakespeare's time, but study of the wreckage has given valuable clues to historians about life in the sixteenth century. Shakespeare was born in the second half of that century. So basically the Mary Rose is as related to Shakespeare as the wreck of the battleship Arizona in Pearl Harbour (sunk 396 years after the Mary Rose) is related to Nicolas Cage (born 400 years after Shakespeare).
