Having met a Swedish colleague at University of Michigan in the early 1970s I was privileged to see the VASA in the "moisturising" chamber, - only to see it again in the 1990s when it had been displayed in its restored form in its current glory. As a bonus I was also able to see "The Coronation of Popea" in the Drottningholm Opera, with the youthful Swedish King in attendance.

In sweden we have this old practice that if your boat leaks too much in the spring, you can let her sink in shallow water, resting on the bottom for a week or so before you bilge her out and raise her up again. That will make her perfectly dry for the rest of the season. In this case it took some three hundred and thirty years of soaking (a bit excessive I'll admit) but it sure did the trick!
@Televroszky2144 Жыл бұрын
its because the ship didnt sink by a rock or etc, it sank because it had too much weight
@McLarenMercedes10 ай бұрын
@@Televroszky2144 Not weight, too high center of gravity. If anything she had too *little* weight as ballast. Her two decks of cannons made her top heavy and this is why a mere gust of wind made her roll too much and sink. More ballast (bottom weight) might have helped but she was still too narrow and too high with too high center of gravity. Weight? Not what sunk her.

@@JH-lo9ut I understand what you mean. My family here in the US had a 1960's pleasure boat made of wood. The boat yard people would hoist it out of the water and cradle it on a bunk just before our winter season. In the spring, they would reverse the process and place her back in the water. Now, they would leave the lifting straps underneath the boat for a few days while the wooden hull would swell and seal off any big leaks. This was in the 1980's. It was a 25' Chris Craft.

Brackish water found in the Baltic Sea is impossible for some sea organisms to survive in as well as the cold water. Ship worm can't survive at all and therefore won't eat away the ship. For this reason the regular decomposition which would take place in salt water and warmer places didn't happen. Add to the historical irony that the heavy pollution of the water from industries in the late 1800's and early 1900's made it an even worse place for sea organisms but was most fortunate for the Vasa ship. The researcher who found Vasa (and other ships of the era) actually argued that the cold, brackish water would mean the decomposition of the ships being a lot slower than usual and that this meant that if a ship sank intact (not from any explosion of the gun powder for instance) it could be salvaged in very good shape. Vasa simply sunk in the perfect spot. Had she sunk in salt water with strong currents or where ship worm and other organisms thrive she'd be long gone.

@axelnelson3745 жыл бұрын
During those five years the divers prepared the raising, by digging tunnels (using a kind of underwater vacuum cleaner) for the cables and a lot of temporary carpentry work . Imagine diving in dirty water with almost no visibility about 30 meters (cirka 100 feet) down.
@McLarenMercedes10 ай бұрын
@@axelnelson374 Yes, it was a small miracle none of the divers were injured or worse killed. Apparently they spent a lot of time *inside* the tunnels under the ship which barely were large enough to fit the divers. Nothing for anybody faint of heart.

Imagine the 17th century divers that salvaged almost all her cannons and also using the same diving bell on Kronan (that sunk in open water 1676!) Diving bell was also used in the 1620ies on a Spanish (?) galleon that sunk near Cuba. In the 16th century an African diver lead a team of free divers on Mary Rose UK. But making the tunnels under Vasa in the end og the 1950ies need guts and Fälting seems to have been a good and calm boss for the young divers.@@McLarenMercedes

A antiguos indonesios contemporáneos del rey Gustavo, les habría causado poca o ninguna impresión el majestuoso y masivo galeón Vasa, pues ellos venían construyendo barcos mas grandes y marineros que el coloso sueco, desde al menos el siglo XII, como lo constataron celebres marinos, viajeros y eruditos como Marco Polo, Odorico de Pordenone, Ibn Battûta y Alfonso de Alburquerque, los impresionantes y robustos Djong de Java, construidos en resistente madera de teca diseñados para viajes en alta mar, alcanzaban una longitud de entre 80 y 110 metros de largo. según las diversas fuentes antes, solo tenían parangón en los barcos del tesoro del almirante chino Zheng He. aun hoy en ciertas regiones de Indonesia los siguen construyendo, siguiendo el ancestral diseño tradicional en madera, solo que empleando herramientas modernas junto con las antiguas, y adaptándole un motor Diesel, para complemento de seguridad de las grandes velas kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNN6jKderazag4U.html
