Some of the Mary Rose crewMost of the men in this image, including Alfred Holden, died when the Mary Rose sank in October 1917. Various copies of the image have been found, and this one comes from a distant relative of Holden's. Holden is apparently the man at back right, with a cigarette in his mouth.
