The Mary Rose, Henry VII's favourite ship, was constructed mainly of Oak. Modern estimates calculate that around 600 oak trees were used to build the ship.

After serving for 33 years in several wars against France, Scotland and Brittany, she saw her last action on 19 July 1545. While leading the attack on the galleys of a French invasion fleet, she sank accidentally, while turning to engage the French in the Solent, north of the Isle of Wight.
