There was a single domino found on the Mary Rose, and published on their
website. My husband emailed them to get a definite place where it was found
etc, for our research, and was told "Oh, how did that get on THAT part of
the site? It's a Napoleonic period domino that must have been dropped (or
thrown) off the side of a later period ship, and was found in the mud."

I'd be wondering about this one 'on' the Vasa. I'd be REALLY interested if
it was on the ship, as I also reenact the 17th century.
