Vasa - From Concept to Maiden Voyage (Part 1)

This video would not have been possible without the wonderful assistance of Dr Fred Hocker and the Vasa Museum.

Today we start to look at the famous Swedish warship Vasa, beginning with why and how she was built, and what happened to her on her maiden voyage.

In later videos we will look at her salvage and preservation and more closely at her crew, decoration and equipment.
