The Vasa. Sweden’s famous ship disaster.
THE VASA The Royal Ship by L-Å. Kvarning and B. Ohrelius
How the Swedish Navy’s proud new man-of-war was built and, watched by thousands of Stockholm residents, set off in 1628 on her maiden voyage - and almost immediately keeled over and sank, “at full speed, flags and all”. Three hundred-and-thirty years later she was found in her murky grave, was salvaged, restored, and finally towed into her present harbour at Djurgården to be put on permanent display. Revised and reprinted edition including colour illustrations. |
