...
The word existed in Latin, but there it meant "drinking place for cattle." Originally especially for growing aquatic plants; An earlier attempt at a name for "fish tank" was marine vivarium.

Conodont
Silur (W3)

Das Wort "conodont" wurde von Christian Pander erfunden, der sie zuerst in der baltischen Region entdeckte. Es ist, wie Sie sehen können, vom "Kegel" und vom "Zahn".

"Conodonten" sind [griechisch], bis 3mm, selten bis 6 mm lange, meist zahnartige, lamellenförmig aus Fluor- und Carbonat-Apatit aufgebaute Fossilien in marinen Sedimenten vom Unterkambrium bis zur Oberen Trias; drei Typen: Einzelzähne, Zahnreihenconodonten und Plattformconodonten. Sie bildeten die Bezahnung der Conodontenträger, kleine, im Meer lebende, den Aalen ähnelnde, Fleisch fressende Wirbeltiere.

Mary Rose - Rose

The Mary Rose was built between 1509 and 1511 and served in Henry VIII’s navy for 34 years until she sank off the south coast of England on July 19th, 1545. The French claim one of their cannons sent her to the bottom, but other evidence indicates she may simply have been overloaded or mishandled.

Mary Rose Virtual Tour

Explore the Tudor flagship, the Mary Rose, which was the flagship of Henry VIII until it sank in 1545. The Mary Rose was built between 1509-11 and named after the King's favourite sister, Mary Tudor.

The Mary Rose was raised in 1982 and is now undergoing restoration in Portsmouth.

...
The Mary Rose was built at Portsmouth between 1509 and 1511. Named for Henry VIII's favourite sister, "Mary Tudor", later queen of France, the ship was part of a large build-up of naval force by the new king in the years between 1510 and 1515. Warships, and the cannon they carried, were the ultimate status symbol of the 16th century, and an opportunity to show off the wealth and power of the king abroad.

Isle of Wight Shipwrecks: 'Mary Rose'

Probably the most famous shipwreck in the waters around the Isle of Wight is that of Mary Rose.

Her Early Career

Work on building Mary Rose began in 1509, and she was launched in 1511. Named after Henry VIII's sister, she was a large ship, over 100ft long and 36ft wide. In 1513 the Lord High Admiral, Sir Edward Howard, called her 'the flower of all ships that ever sailed'.

Mary Rose first saw action in the French War of 1512-1514. France was planning to conquer Italy, so England and Spain allied themselves against France to prevent this. In August 1512, Mary Rose was part of a fleet of 25 English warships that engaged a combined French-Breton fleet near Brest, engaging the French flagship Le Grand Louis. The English Fleet under Admiral Howard gained control of the English Channel. Mary Rose also fought in the French War of 1522 - 1525.

The Mary Rose

The Mary Rose is based in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. Built between 1509 and 1511, she was one of the first ships able to fire a broadside, and was a firm favourite of King Henry VIII.

After a long and successful career, she sank accidentally during an engagement with the French fleet in 1545. Her rediscovery and raising were seminal events in the history of nautical archaeology.

...
The Mary Rose was a carrack-type warship of the English Tudor navy of King Henry VIII. After serving for 33 years in several wars against France, Scotland, and Brittany and after being substantially rebuilt in 1536, she saw her last action on 19 July 1545. While leading the attack on the galleys of a French invasion fleet, she sank in the Solent, the straits north of the Isle of Wight. The wreck of the Mary Rose was rediscovered in 1971 and salvaged in 1982 by the Mary Rose Trust in one of the most complex and expensive projects in the history of maritime archaeology. The surviving section of the ship and thousands of recovered artefacts are of immeasurable value as a Tudor-era time capsule.
