The wreck of the Mary Rose was discovered in 1971 and was raised on October 11 1982 by the Mary Rose Trust. The surviving section of the ship and thousands of recovered artefacts now sit in The Mary Rose Museum for us all to see.
Port Solent as we know it today was also created as well as the Pyramids in Southsea.
And Royal Navy families celebrated the return of their loved ones after the Falklands War in 1982.
