Welcome on board the Vasa! Together with Fred Hocker, Director of Research, we explore all of Vasa's interior spaces. In the third episode, we take you to the Lower Gun Deck.
I was there last week, a 3-4 level of viewing was amazing, you will never know the amazing, jaw dropping feeling until you physically go there and see this amazing piece of wonder! I took tons of pictures and videos but nothing captures the feeling like your own eyes really close to the ship!
we the dutch made the batavia and as a kid ive been there on the ship its a replica that whas awsome as hell and mind boggling how they did that but to see the real deal must be something else i hope to see the ship 1 day with my own 2 eyes
@@superbanaan9 this museum has multiple floors, with ship in the middle, so you can see it from all angles, there's nothing like it. It sank about a kilometre away from the shore because of instabilities, during the maiden or first voyage. But the Swedes managed to restore the ship brilliantly! It's magnificent!
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!
Great presentation. However, with swedish titles it is not recognizable that the narration is in english and there are even subtitles available! This brilliant museum needs more attendance! Cheers to Fred Hocker!
I remember from the Bataviawerf that the planks at the very bow had been severely charred while being bent wet over open fire to follow almost a circle quadrant either side of the bow. One of the ships' carpenters there told me that this was also found on the wreck of the original ship. According to what I was told, the charring was so severe that the archeologists who excavated the wreck first thought that there had been a fire on board. I wonder, are there similar traces on the planks in Vasa's bow?
How did salvers in the 1660s remove heavy guns from the ship - we are talking about primitive diving and removal of very heavy objects below decks in a sunken ship?
Why is the title of this video series in Swedish, even though the whole narration is in English? I think you are missing a whole lot of international audience just because you have titled (and described) the video in your native language. These videos are crazy interesting and informative
is it just me, or dose the interior of this ship look rather un-natural. it honestly took me longer then it should have, to realize this wasn't a still image on a green screen
