We begin in the upper reaches of Portsmouth Harbour with a boat crossing choppy water with warships in the distance. Members of the Mary Rose expedition team examine a new Atlas Copco compressor which will be used on dives to the wreck site. An inflatable dinghy is also seen. We then relocate to a shingle beach where we see Gabby and Thomas McKee splashing about in the water.
