In
Henry VIII's time, people in England didn't use forks to eat
with. They used knives and spoons and their
fingers.
Most people had
their own knives and spoons to eat with. This is one of the
pewter spoons found on the wreck.
The knife
handle on the left is made of wood decorated with copper.
(The blade has rusted away).
Both the knife
and spoon probably belonged to one of the
officers.
