    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 mtr lion we have a photo of the back and a gold statue!

    It is a miracle that was meant to be that this ship stayed intact for so long. Unbelievable !

      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.

    I've been to the Vasa. Good video - just one suggestion. When the narrator says, "Now we are looking at the beak," show the beak. Not other pictures.

    Amazing info and footage. How did you set up the interview? Do you have a contact person I could get in touch with? We are planning our Baltic trip right now and as a Spanish shipwreck museum curator, I hope to promote the Vasa Museum and other cultural aspects of Stockholm. Thanks for the inspiration. If you travel for culture, history or food, you might like what we produce as well. I hope 2023 is great for you and your channel. - Turtle

      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!

      @@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.

    Keep in mind 17th century for Swedes is 1600s. Idk why yanks think 20th century = 1900s makes sense…

      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.
