three possible theories to explain why the Mary Rose sank suddenly
The author states three possible theories to explain why the Mary Rose sank suddenly in the passage, while the speaker refutes all of these arguments, claiming that the explanations are unclear.
Firstly, the writer points out that the flooded gunport of the Mary Rose might lead to the sink. The lecturer does not think this argument is watertight. According to him, the cannonballs are still in the gun-ports, which means that the Mary Rose did not even fire, and the gun-ports were closed before sinking. The cold, rigid fact apparently opposes the evidence based on the reading material.
Another important point made in the reading is that the ship's sailors were to blame. The professor refutes this flawy argument. According to him, the sailors of the Mary Rose would never fail to observe orders. Mary Rose was one of the largest and fastest ships in the British Navy; therefore, the ship's sailors were professional and capable. The sailors would not disobey the captain's orders; even they disliked the captain.
Finally, the reading asserts that the Mary Rose sank due to the huge damage done by the French ships, according to a French officer. The professor casts doubts on this argument According to the professor, the French officer is not objective. The officer might make this statement out of political incentive. It is understandable that if the Mary Rose had sunk owing to the damage in the battle, the French Navy could have been more powerful than the British Navy.
