On board the Vasa - Episode 2

Welcome on board the Vasa! Together with Fred Hocker, Director of Research, we explore all of Vasa's interior spaces. In the second episode, we take you to the Upper Gun Deck.

This tour of the ship is absolutely sensational. Now everybody can see what's inside!

[@soppdrake]

A thorough tour of the magnificent ship! Being on board is an awesome experience, and one I will never forget. Fred knows his stuff!

[@steffenb.jrgensen2014]

The Wasa IMHO is by far the most fascinating museum exhibit in possession of humanity! Worth a long travel (but Stockholm is a nice city too).

[@mollykearon1208]

How easy is it to listen to Fred Hocker give us a wonderful description of the interior workings of the Vasa. I'm an ordinary retired wife and mother from Australia, and I Know nothing of ship's but love archaeology. I'm hooked. Thank you.

[@jeremygreen3392]

I'm from Auz also and do agree. What is the music? I cant find it using credits..

Marvel of engineering from the land most experienced seafarers of their time, going back thousands of years, long before we know, because of lack of written history. the ridiculous amount of firepower is incredible. Its a shame the concerns of buoyancy were ignored by those in charge. I was almost as moved when I visited the Vasa as i was when i beheld the Oseberg viking skip in Oslo... Brought a tear to my eye actually, proud to be of Scandinavian ancestry... Always ahead of the rest of europe, from the 8th century to now. Skål!! 🇩🇰🇸🇪🇳🇴

[@xDZUTEH]

You should Google Portugal or Spain in these times then…

Amazing presentation, information, and collection of workmanship by both ancient workers and today's workers. It really is a shame that this video series is not more suggested. I enjoyed all of this collection!

[@FredFred-wy9jw]

I toured the Vasa in 1978, shortly after most of glycol spraying was completed, we only saw the outside of the ship from the scaffolding… it’s amazing to see the ship as it has been restored…

[@kirkmattoon2594]

An excellent presentation of a fascinating piece of history. Dr. Hocker does a fine job.

[@donovanhefner1130]

Ended up here through a Facebook advert. I’m hooked, and loving these videos! Hello from Indiana!

[@shable1436]

This is great, but im so glad i was born the century i did, maybe in my past lives I was in these, or older, but those are nasty war death water traps

[@marknelson5929]

This by far is the best description of the ship I have ever seen so far - thoroughly fascinating. All others just seem to focus on the external and the sinking, I've always been curious as to what lies beneath the decks etc you've answered that. I've been fascinated by this vessel since the 60s as a kid and indeed as we know AIRFIX took the plunge due to this interest and made a very respectable kit to make back then - a kit I always wanted back then, but never got. Now I have that kit, an original first pressing from when it first came out, this means the mouldings are pretty crisp. Your tour of the ship is amazing and as I'll probably never be able to visit the ship in person (I live in Australia) your tour equates to having a personal guide. ONE QUESTION I HAVE - was the ship painted below the waterline? I see many models with a white lower hull (below the waterline). Thanks

[@diggingblacksmith]

This is great!

[@drips1030]

This is amazing. 💖

[@Reindrikfredfeldt]

Översta Överlopp = Upper Orlop. It's a loan word from dutch which influenced more than just the ship but the language as well. Overloop verb. Overloopen, to run over/extend. So basically the upper part of the ship that extends from stem to stern.

[@doctorshawzy6477]

very professional talk

[@IXXI37]

After viewing some videos about how and why the ship sank so quickly, a good possibility of what happened may have been that the cannons where not secured to their positions. Maybe you can confirm by where they found the cannons during the recovery process? But as the wind pushed on the ships sails, the ship leaned with the wind, the weight of the cannons may have shifted and the ship tipped over so far that they took on water through the gun ports. Weight distribution and securing all items are crucial to a ship like that to maintain balance and buoyancy. Aside from that great video, great recovery and I think she looks really good as she is. I would sail her. Thank you for the tour, history and I hope to one day make it there to see she her in person and your beautiful country.

[@grimelisonkalman3318]

according to this article: sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B6fring_Hansson, the captain swore in a hearing the day after that the cannons were secured

[@IXXI37]

@@grimelisonkalman3318 would you want to get blamed for that?? As quickly as they said it did and when it did, that’s the only thing that would do that to a ship in the manner which they describe it to of had have happened.

[@davidtucker3008]

Was this made as a TV documentary? These aren't your run of the mill KZbin videos. Wish they could have figured out how to use more lighting to bring out the surface details better, but it's still pretty damn good overall. Kudos!

Amazing Ships of the Line are probably the most bonkers weapons we've ever made

[@tatovive]

Beautiful ship. Are those bowling shoes to protect the ship? Nevermind, I just watched episode 1. Very cool!

[@hendo337]

That's crazy, they made parts that translate too an engine with that water pump, a cylinder, a piston, a connecting rod, a rocker arm...just wood and not metal... it's crazy to see something like a ship that was preserved from 1628, that is around the time my Great Grandfather George Felt (1601-1693)(he's on Wikipedia) reached Massachusetts Bay Colony, he was a founder of Charleston, Mass and North Yarmouth (later Yarmouth, Maine). It definitely seems like a much more ornimental, Viking type ship than the more utilitarian and functional type ships the English seemed to be building. Either way, it's unbelievable that organic materials like that were so well preserved under the ocean for all these years. Now the SS. United States, the quickest ocean liner in history and the flagship of our country is still floating and can still be saved and is being threatened with scrapping ...😢🤦🥺

[@Critzenkills]

Får man gå på skeppet nuförtiden eller har man alltid fått göra det? har jag missat något?

[@veraludvigsson7265]

Nej, det får man inte.

[@Youtube_Globetrotter]

Han jobbar ju med skeppet. Klart han får gå där. Men inte allmänheten.

[@Ivan_Rom-Zap]

[@gagarin777]

I think those gunports at the stern were doubling as king's toilet. I seriously doubt a king would squat together with sailors at the bow.

[@abcdedfg8340]

I'm pretty sure the king or high ranking officers just wanted a bigger cabin. That's just my guess.

[@jeffreytan2948]

As was fashionable at the time the King would have probably brought his own toilet cabinet containing a chamber pot to do his business in. No need to got to the bow and he would have servants to dispose of the contents off the ship.

[@jaylay3453]

Weird thing, I kinda figure thing or two on ships as a longtime yard worker, yet just looking that vessel hull on dry, it obvious that She has a issue with stability. Do not even have to add any numbers, just look at her at a few angels, it is right there front of eyes. Then add that missing 2/3 on mast lenght, throw sails on and it is very clear she will get a heavy list very easily. How on earth they ever made that in a first place. As great as she is, her creators must have been drunk as hell. Or dumb. Or both.

[@trickyd499]

where was the toilet ?

[@vasamuseet]

You can find the answer in this very episode :), at 3:35: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJOQi4iAosqZj7cfeature=shared&t=215

[@Rocketryman]

Very interesting. One thing... It's a series of VIDEOS. Not films. We do not film, we video. Besides, defining the process is stating the obvious. :-) Film, filming, and filmmaking are the most misused words in the industry. 🙂 Digital Video and film require different skill sets. Having DIFFERENT historical and TECHNOLOGICAL timelines spanning 150 years. Have pride and knowledge of the gear we use including the words that describe what we do. Our tools are Digital Video, Non-linear, and CGI. We are moviemakers, not filmmakers and we do what film wishes it could. We are Videographers and/or cinematographers. 🙂 We video or are videoing, we do not film. That's the other RARE professionals who know how to use film and film cameras, like an ARRIFLEX 435 Panavision R-200 and Steenbeck flatbed film editors. Know the difference and have a better understanding of the craft. You will also stand out in an industry polluted with point-and-shoot "pros". Respect to you.✌♥

"Interior" ska nog översättas till insida, inte interiör.

Why?

Nä då

Det beror helt på i vilket sammanhang

[@kungsverige1886]

'Build by Dutch'....🇸🇪

[@zyeslek]

Can you explain this? I'm interested.

[@DannyoRaiden]

The vasa is an flute type ship from the dutches

[@zyeslek]

So "vasa" refers to the type of ship, not just the name? Was this particular ship built by Dutch?

[@DannyoRaiden]

@@zyeslek was built in Stockholm just some kilometer from its disaster. I think that the engingier was dutch. One thing that differs from a flyute is the cannon so more of a swedish mix built. Flyute had less cannonspace so wasa was kinda larger to have many cannons Why it called wasa ship? Becouse wasa was an ett in sweden wasaetten like a familygroup where king wasa was in.

[@louisavondart9178]

The Original shipwright was Dutch. Henrik Hybertsson ("Master Henrik"). Unfortunately he died before the ship was completed and the work was finished by another Dutch shipwright, Henrik "Hein" Jacobsson.

Sweden, lol

As a swedish person, let me first say thanks for these uploads. Some of the info could be debatable but the background guitar sound/music makes this irritating listening to.

[@Stefan-]

Its not guitar, its strings, cant say that i mind them myself but we all have different preferences.

[@ericvanrekum6330]

Agree. It's a cello and the music made me stop watching. Shame, the tour is well done.

[@BilldalSWE]

"Some of the info could be debatable" Well he's pretty clear about that being the case... A lot of the "info" we have on the Vasa in general is guesses which are being debated all the time.

[@jeremygreen3392]

​@Stefan- What is the music? I cant find it using credits..

The video was great the annoying music ruined it!
