My wife and I visited the museum and it is indeed a brilliant ship...then we wanted to walk to the artillery museum but a sign on the door read "closed until the turn of the century" so Swedes have a sense of humour :)

It is indeed Bob Adams, who played with Geraldo and Jack Parnell, as well as with Frank Sinatra on his 1962 album 'Great Songs from Great Britain', featuring 'A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square'. Bob also played the amazing sax solo on Frankie Vaughan's 'Green Door'. Great musician, great man.

Correction at 1.34 - Vasa broke the surface on 24 April 1961, NOT 14 April as stated in the photograph.

So it was top heavy, because the king (who was not a naval architect) had ordered a second gun deck that was not part of the original design. So then the king of England ordered more guns on the Mary Rose than it was designed to carry - also the flagship of his fleet - and it sailed out of harbour, turned turtle and sank. How history repeats itself. Who was it who said "The only thing we learn from history is that we don't learn anything from history"? Edit: Sorry, the Mary Rose was older, so it was the Swedish king who didn't learn from history. In both cases, though, it highlights the dangers of investing too much power in one person.

It was not the king's fault, the ship builder had laid a keel for a smaller ship he was building and then got the commission from the king and did not want to waste all the wood he had already laid out for the other ship. It is perfectly possible to have two gun decks. The real reason no one was put at fault is that they when they realized it was unstable everyone was too afraid to let the king know. The king was and had been fighting in a distant war the whole time so he could not know of or see this himself, he relied on information from everyone else.

@@SgfGustafsson I think I may have known you. Did you work in a technical position in the computer industry? Do you recognise my name? Anyway, I hear what you say about the Vasa, but it still comes down to investing too much power in one man - "everyone was too afraid to let the king know". Kings had a bit of a way of not being very reasonable. As far as I understand the situation, the Mary Rose had sailed and fought successfully before, but she had a refit, and was doted with another gun deck, which was too heavy for her to carry, and she turned turtle. I wasn't present at the meeting, but I believe it was by direct order of the king. There re so many similar examples in history - and, of course, in the present day.

Honestly the most beatiful floating fortress ofa ship. Such elegant designe virtually. but this is what happen s when u skip the prototypes few times before u sail out with an insanely expensive ship. This probably costed as much as a freakin destroyer to make by hadn and all its looks

+Matthias Horstmann vasa was not larger than Mars and she was certainly not as heavy. The Vasa was the 7th largest ship around that time in the Swedish Royal Navy and the Vasa was surely not the heaviest. Ships like Stora Kronan, Stora Kravelen and Mars are just a few. ;)

Matthias Horstmann If I make a rocket and paint it pink and say 'this is supposed to fly to the Moon' but then instead it just farts and tips over will you call it 'The first pink Moon rocket'? No. So Vasa wasn't a first double-decker warship, it was a very expensive fail.

Seriously why did the Swedish King think hiring a Dutch shipbuilder was a good idea? Sure there were no finer ships in the 17th century then those build by the Dutch. All the more reason to ask yourself; what the hell was Hybertsson doing in Sweden. If you were a Dutch shipbuilder in the 17th century and COULD NOT find a Job in the Netherlands, you're probably a piss poor excuse for a shipbuilder.

This ship made it to the edge of the Flat Earth. Because of it's height, was able to breach the walls of the Ice Ring. This was a ship that had no cannons. Instead, it had oars. These oars assisted it to the edge where there was little wind. This is why the word VASA is so close to NASA.... Get it?
