That is why the Vasa ship sank on its maiden voyage in 1628

[@Emtbtoday]

It's a shame the video doesn't go along with the talk of the ship and the parts she's speaking about! The bit when talking about the front and the 4 mtr lion we have a photo of the back and a gold statue!

[@johanromin3346]

This an episode of a podcast from the beginning. I didn't have time to edit it in detail. Hope you enjoyed the sound.

[@cathalodiubhain5739]

I often forget there's more to Swedish and Scandinavian history in general than the Viking era. very interesting video, thanks for taking time out to create and post..

[@David_in_Thailand]

I remember 20 years ago wandering into the Vasa Museum knowing nothing about what I was going to see. Such an incredibly powerful, breathtaking experience when entering the darkened space to see the huge ship sitting right there. It's an amazing place.

[@Smartdog1]

I had the same amazing experience in 1992 !

[@jaygreider4753]

I've been to the Vasa. Good video - just one suggestion. When the narrator says, "Now we are looking at the beak," show the beak. Not other pictures.

[@TravelNut72]

It is a miracle that was meant to be that this ship stayed intact for so long. Unbelievable !

[@patpongmichiko]

The water in Stockholm harbor is brackish (not saline), mixed mostly with fresh water, and thus does not support the saltwater "woodworms" which will consume wood.

[@Mads-y1y]

What a fine ship

[@richardyoung871]

In this video he talks about the VASA ship built in SWEDEN, by the Swedish people, and SWEDEN is known for their ship building and it has been rumered that the three English ships built in England were also built for the long voyage from England to the NEW LAND, as it was known in those day's but the wood used were of very high caiber,hard,rugged and very sturdy for many years of service and probably it's to late to have the wood salvaged, but probably can be treated with chemicals too stop the decaying wood from further damage as these boats are natural treasures, usually viewed at museums around the world, just like going to the Metropolitan museum in midtown Manhattan or seeing the NATURAL MUSEUM on the Westside of midtown Manhattan during which, if hungry go to TAVERN ON THE GREEN in Central Park, or the BOATHOUSE,also in Central Park south lots to see in that area and see all the different hotels at 59th central park south big bucks folks, or take the subway to WALL STREET plenty to see and do, and skip the taxi, to expensive, enjoy the ride, even though the temperature is dropping, so what, who cares, not me, just dress in layers, starting with your thermos, gloves, scarfs, and warm head gear and watch out for the winds,as it can get very windy, at times. And the days are getting very shorter, but that's a given.

Impressive model of it there by it's side too! Looks great in it's full bright colours

The images are not correlated with the conversation. It’s extremely frustrating.

[@mrdr9534]

Thanks for a very interesting interview, and though I agree with those who already commented that it would have been EVEN better if the imagery had "followed" the narrative a bit better, I can see how that would have made the editing far more demanding. Best regards

[@LuceLaska]

Awesome, I didn't get to go to this museum when I visited, thank you!

[@seekter-kafa]

the ship was built very good, put poorly designed... probably even by king's demands for more and heavier guns, and/or changes while construction was already in progress

[@thegallivanthropologists]

Amazing info and footage. How did you set up the interview? Do you have a contact person I could get in touch with? We are planning our Baltic trip right now and as a Spanish shipwreck museum curator, I hope to promote the Vasa Museum and other cultural aspects of Stockholm. Thanks for the inspiration. If you travel for culture, history or food, you might like what we produce as well. I hope 2023 is great for you and your channel. - Turtle

[@charlesleonard2012]

The lowest cannon ports went underwater when the wind blew, the cannons and water flooding in sank it straight away.

[@mariocastro7379]

Wow! Amazing!

[@colorado9125]

Please make new videos! I just found your channel and I love the Viking history.

[@Swedish_historian]

A huge thank you! 🙂 I will consider making more. 👍🏼

[@51WCDodge]

England had a near equivalent. In 1418 Henry V had the Grace Dieu. She made one voyage of about 30 miles. most of the crew refused to sail her back.

[@kempaswe4022]

Hade varit kul att få komma dit med barnen så de hade fått se det (13 och 15år med autism). Men inte lätt när vi båda blev arbetslösa med en dags mellanrum. Älskar hantverket, skulle något företag ge sig på att försöka bygga en replika så hade det tagit mycket längre tid samt att de hade använt moderna verktyg/maskiner.

[@yash1e5]

Nice video!

[@richardyoung871]

In my 2nd observation of this old warship it reminds me of the TITANIC, and recently the wreckage has been pinpointed found, it's interesting what underwater Sonar can do nowadays but when she went down, there were a lot of valuables recovered, mainly precious metals, and jewelry, which can be gotten by the courts, by sealed documents, to have them unsealed by the courts, it takes a court mandate to do so, and sealed by a notary person, stamped and signed.

[@user-gv5bs3os5i]

Bit like the titanic she sank on her maiden voyage three centuries later

[@dhoward5757]

It sank long before it could become a misery to live on.

[@kaythomas5884]

The main problem was a basic engineering one, they simply doubled the dimensions to make it BIG, but this threw out the logistics. It was out of balance. It turned over and sank immediately in the harbour! If they had the knowledge of the Vikings, it would be a different story. Their ships were seaworthy and they went on large voyages.

[@cmeeoutdoors7556]

Bad engineering, but beautiful craftsmanship.

[@020Dutchy]

Narration doesn’t line up with the pictures….😢

[@kaseytegner1883]

It’s too bad they aren’t showing what they’re talking about at the same time. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@torisaengilbert8400]

Vasa was top heavy yet it sank standing up ? Strange. Vasamuseet is wonderful.

[@UrielShlomoGarcia-fi4yu]

You can see that the bottom displacement of the Vasa its way too narrow.

[@GreatGreebo]

Who is the one “dislike” on this video....YIKES! It feels like the IQ of the entire human race has been lowered slightly because of this one yahoo and their irrational need to dislike something so educational ! 🤦

[@humbugblet27]

i agree that such a video as to being educational, but it would help tenfold if you can interpret what is being said throughout the entirety of the video. imo the swedish accent is just a hair too thick to understand some words/sentences, imo, it would have been a much better video had a Non-swedish historian person gave facts upon said ship. or a more fluent english speaker. As well as It's a shame the video doesn't go along with the talk of the ship and the parts she's speaking about! The bit when talking about the front and the 4 mnt lion we have a photo of the back and a gold statue,

[@GreatGreebo]

@@humbugblet27 the museum employee does NOT have a Swedish accent. She sounds to have a German accent and it’s barely there. Her English is just as good (or better) than many Americans/Brits. The owner of the channel is Swedish and he speaks perfect English. Yes, his accent is there but he is perfectly understandable. His cadence is just a bit different but easily adjusted for when listening to him. You must struggle to understand many people; Even within the United States, where English is their native language, you would probably struggle with their regional accents if this video exemplifies what you count as thick accents.

[@humbugblet27]

@@GreatGreebo i came across several sentences which both I & the captions could not make out correctly. I in fact do not have a problem undestanding many people, i just so happen to have had trouble a few instances in this video, & to clarify, i am Canadian, Native American. Felt a little repulsed just the thought of being American 😂

[@GreatGreebo]

@@humbugblet27 I don’t blame you for clarifying! 🤣 My Gramps was Swedish so maybe I’m just genetically programmed to understanding the accent😉

Ah yes. Dislike button. I remember those days… oh how we took them for granted!

[@nsambol]

CORRECTION: Design error, not construction error...

[@simon-oy6um]

It rolled over and sank because it was top heavy ,should have built it 20 feet wider 😮

[@Zfast4y0u]

christ, show interiors of the ship not just pictures!!!

[@allysmith2284]

Less Carving, more ballast….,

[@Swedish_historian]

The ship is already too heavy. It is too tall, too narrow and too heavy. It was badly built from the beginning

[@sergueiothonucci1638]

[@deplorablecovfefe9489]

The guy who painted it under sail must have worked really fast.....lol

[@deplorablecovfefe9489]

On board it would always feel like it would tip over to me....

[@deplorablecovfefe9489]

It need less decorative carvings and more industrial engineering. The chief designer must have been a "know it all" that couldn't listen to anyone else.

[@justacasual7927]

This poor woman really struggled with the English language the longer the conversation goes. In the beginning it flows quite decent, but not for long🇸🇪🎶

[@privateprivate6487]

Keep in mind 17th century for Swedes is 1600s. Idk why yanks think 20th century = 1900s makes sense…

[@raletran]

Because the first century was 0-100 years, the second 100-200 years, and so on. The 17th century being the 1600s isn't only for Swedes, it's for everyone.

I lost interest though the woman is precious and speaks so beautiful but as mentioned below whoever put the film together with the photographs matching nothing just showed laziness.
