But Members of the Telford Visually Impaired Group were given the opportunity get up close to items saved from the wreckage of the Mary Rose.
Trevor Sapey, of the Mary Rose Trust in Portsmouth, gave a presentation about the ship and its history.
Artefacts included a stone shot, powder dispenser and pewter tankard, all receovered from the ship, which was launched in 1511.
West Telford VIP was set up in 2007 and now has more than 30 active members.
