This website about the Mary Rose is also very valuable:

Including an online database containing more than 14.000 objects found in the Mary Rose:

I wish, to have such perfectly presented material available for other archaeological finds.

What is your idea for the cannonballs? Iron just as a low cost substitute for lead? In this case iron balls could have been used. I guess the other theory is much more plausible.
