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

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

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.

A vocal fry fan, aren't you?

@@narvul a fry fan? What's that lol

@@davidreeves8388 "vocal fry": here I looked it up for you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R6r7LhcHHAc.html

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

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,

@@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.

@@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 😂

@@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!

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

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.

Huh?

its a complete 17th century ship

So why do you waste your time to comment on it? / Micke P

you say that about the titanic too? it's the only existing ship of it's kind left. It's very interesting to anyone who like history.
