	The Vasa Capsizes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		She was a “royal ship,” the biggest, most powerful, expensive and richly ornamented vessel ever built for the Swedish navy, and likely any other navy, at the time.
		As the big ship was pulled seaward, beyond the protection of the last cliff, Captain Söfring Hansson issued his order: “Set the foresail, foretop, maintop and mizzen.” Obediently, the sailors scurried up the great ship’s rig and hoisted four of her ten sails.
		He orders him to build the ships according to his [the king’s] specifications, adding that if he is not willing to build two ships according to these specifications, he should instead build the 136 foot ship contracted for.

	The Royal Ship Vasa
		As soon as the bottom and the sides of the hull were planked and the ship was able to float, she was launched into the water and construction was thereafter completed.
		The captain of the Vasa was Söfring Hansson.
		On the stem of the Vasa is a peculiar structure known as the beak-head.

	Regalskeppet Vasa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Regalskeppet Vasa or Wasa (pronounced "shep-et Vah-sah") was a Swedish 64-gun ship of the line, built for King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden of the House of Vasa, in 1626-1628.
		Along with the letter were measurements for the ship the King intended, with a 120 foot keel.
		Conservation of the ship itself was done using polyethylene glycol, a method that was also used years later in the conservation process of the 16th century English ship, the Mary Rose.

	Vasa Ship Museum
		When the ship was finished, it pulled away from the quay, heeled over in a small breeze, and sank to the bottom.
		Aside from the ship, over a hundred sailors' remains and their gear was recovered - some of this material is on display in the galleries surrounding the ship.
		Oddly enough, most of the guns from the Vasa were salvaged by primitive diving bell technology shortly after the Vasa sank - they were valuable enough to put in all of the effort.

	The Geodetic monitoring system of the 17th century ship Vasa
		Most of the iron fastenings were corroded, so the ship depended on her wooden treenails for holding the hull together.
		The Vasa was on a floating platform, she was being sprayed with polyethylene glycol and the restoration work was in progress.
		By moving around the ship and establishing the total station in 50 different positions, 4 people are able to measure all 350 points on the ship in a week’s time, creating an epoch, which in total consists of about 2000 measurements.

	VASA
		The VASA was one of the large warships built by Swedish King Gustavus II Adolphus.
		When the ship left the shelter of the inner harbour of Stockholm, she approached the island of Beckholmen where she was struck by a powerful gust of wind, capsized and sank after a voyage of only 1300 meters.
		The VASA was probably laid down as a "small" ship and completed as a "large" ship, with two gun decks instead of only one as originally planned.

		The beautiful Swedish galleon Vasa, built by Dutch shipwrights for the King of Sweden, sank tragically on its maiden voyage in Stockholm harbor in 1628.
		The ship lay in the mud at the bottom of the harbor until the 1960s, when it was resurrected and meticulously restored.
		Vasa began her maiden voyage August 10, 1628, as documented from the city ship quay (Skeppsbron), and there was a light breeze from the southwest.

		In 1625 ten ships, while on patrol in the Bay of Riga, ran aground and were wrecked during an unexpectedly violent storm.
		Boatswain Matsson,[10] who witnessed the test, told the Admiral that 'the ship was narrow at the bottom and lacked enough belly.' The Admiral's response was "the shipbuilder has built ships before." He should not be worried.

		In this case it should be remembered that the Swedish crown did not build the ship with the intention that it should sink 1500 meters from the quay, rather they fully expected it to be in service for a number of years (Vasa's sister ship Äpplet, was in service 1629-1659).
		Most modelers currently build Vasa with all the masts up, but at the time she sank the topgallant masts were not rigged and only four sails (fore course and topsail, main topsail, mizzen) were bent onto the yards.
		She was also short 8 guns of her armament (4 stern chasers and 4 others on the gun decks).

		The ship’s maiden voyage, then, comprised just 4,265 feet before she took on water and sank immediately, drowning 50 of the 150 on board, including wives and children who had been invited to sail to a naval base in the archipelago where 300 soldiers were to board.
		Eleven years after locating her, the Vasa was finally towed to dry dock on April 24, 1961 and 29 years after that, on June 15, 1990, King Carl XVI Gustaf opened the permanent museum.
		From her salvage until 1990, the Vasa was temporarily housed in a basic aluminum building – a building which slowly rusted from the 98% humidity of the continuous water spray used to prevent the Vasa’s timbers from disintegrating.

	The Interaction Point, December 6, 2002
		SSRL is helping provide clues to save the 400-year-old Swedish ship Vasa, preserved for centuries in Stockholm Harbor but now in danger of succumbing to air in the museum that houses it.
		Conditions in the harbor kept the ship well preserved while it was underwater, but a few years ago, after an exceptionally humid summer, a museum conservator noted discoloration on parts of the ship, a warning that decomposition was starting.
		When Sandstrom and a Vasa Museum curator, Lovisa Dal, came to SLAC in mid-December to make new measurements, the Scientific Arts Media department was asked to shoot some footage of the pair in action for a Swedish science television show.

		Curators noticed small powdery patches of salts on the wooden surfaces of the Vasa, and a general softening of the wood in the holds.
		Researchers speculate that the hydrogen sulfide was absorbed from the polluted water penetrating the waterlogged wood and then transformed, either by a chemical reaction or through the agency of sulfide-oxidizing bacteria, into elemental sulfur or pyrite (a compound of iron and sulfur).
		When the Vasa was brought to the oxygen-rich surface, the sulfur began an oxidizing reaction with the oxygen and water in the air, catalyzed by iron from the rusted iron bolts of the ship.

		333 years later this remarkably well-preserved ship was resurrected from her ocean grave and brought to drydock.
		The Vasa is widely considered one of the biggest engineering distasters in history.
		A little-known side note is that the recovery of the Vasa's guns was accomplished in the next century by an early use of a diving bell.

		The Vasa Museum (Vasamuseet) is a maritime museum in Stockholm, Sweden.

		In 1981, the Swedish government decided that a permanent Vasa museum was to be constructed and an architects' competition for the design of the museum building was organized.
