The Mary Rose was one of the largest warships of the Tudor navy during King Henry VIII’s reign until it sank in 1545 .

Hundreds of men were trapped on board when the ship sank in the Solent , a strait between Isle of Wight and mainland Great Britain .

Researchers have analyzed the collarbones from 12 men between the ages of 13 and 40 who died on the Mary Rose to see how their tasks on the ship may have shaped the chemistry of their bones.

They also looked for telltale signs of aging and evidence of handedness.

The study provides a new facet of information about the crew members of the Mary Rose .

Left-handedness was associated with witchcraft, so crew members would have relied on their right hands.

Next, Shankland wants to study the remains of the archers to see whether their spines bear any of the signs of the unique motions they performed.
