The portrait depicts Alexander McKee at the time the ship was recovered from the sea bed in 1982. During his lifetime, Alexander McKee was a Second World War veteran, broadcaster, playwright, historian and author – the portrait shows many of his published books in the background. Behind the sitter is also a picture of some of the original team of divers from the 'Mary Rose Special Branch 0551 of the Southsea Branch of the British Sub Aqua Club 0551', whom he led in the rediscovery of the ship.
