With this in mind, a [pilot project](https://blog.micropasts.org/2015/05/29/the-mary-rose-mi%E2%80%A6aboration-week-1/) was prepared in which [3D photo-masking](https://blog.micropasts.org/2014/06/13/3d-modelling-via-sfm/) could be done on three artefacts recovered from the Mary Rose. This project started in May 2015 and within only a few months, models of each of the artefacts had been produced and uploaded to Sketchfab (a [wooden bowl](https://sketchfab.com/models/a56f2a11217b4c28b9300e5407337061), a [wooden tankard](https://sketchfab.com/models/8721cf07e6e04a578df9626e1eb54ce6) and an [angel plaque](https://sketchfab.com/models/d49c9aa42f1748e5a24ad9429e0af46b)). The [bell recovered from the Mary Rose](https://blog.micropasts.org/2015/12/11/i-was-made-in-the-year-1510/) was also added at a later stage and was similarly [prepared and uploaded by Hugh Fiske](https://sketchfab.com/models/ad399a15ec484cd18fdbe4f96c65c7d0), one of the MicroPasts collaborators.

As of May 2016, the 3D models of the artefacts have been viewed about 2,500 times. Although they represent a very small part of the Mary Rose collection, their introduction to a digital 3D space has offered exciting opportunities in developing the accessibility of the collection. So far, the models have been used for outreach activities undertaken by the Mary Rose Team, for preparing ‘replicas’ (via 3D printing) and as digital content for University student projects.

We are excited to see how the models of the Mary Rose artefacts are further utilised going forward, but, interestingly, our current collaborative project between the Mary Rose Trust and MicroPasts does not involve an artefact from the Mary Rose. Instead the item in question is the bell that was recovered from HMS Hood – a Second World War British battle cruiser that was sunk in 1941 (almost 400 years after the Mary Rose sunk in 1545!) by the German Battleship Bismarck, during the Battle of the Denmark Strait. In 2001 the wreck was located by Blue Water Recoveries with the ship’s bell found lying on the seabed away from the hull. In August 2015, [Paul G. Allen (co-founder of Microsoft) led an expedition supported by Blue Water Recoveries](http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/aug/10/bell-recovered-hms-hood-battleship-sunk-bismarck-1941) to retrieve the bell and, soon afterwards, the bell was sent to Mary Rose Archaeological Services for conservation.
