Don't forget, it has cost over £50 million to preserve The Mary Rose so far. And it will continue to cost a lot to keep the preservation up. And remember £1 million in 1981 money is almost £3.5 million now.

Saying "we can just preserve it" is a lot easier than actually preserving it.

Absolute money sink, and something I don't think was worth it, sure preserve the items from the wreck but just insane money spent to get it to a stable condition
