Vasa, The King’s Ship
Commander Bengt Ohrelius

The royal ship Vasa sank on her maiden voyage in 1628 and it was more than 300 years before she was raised on 4 May 1961. She became the best preserved 17th century warship in the world at the time. This book recounts the difficulties encountered in raising the vessel and preserving her.
