Thank you so much for producing this series! I've visited Vasa several times going back to the 1980s and I've always wished I could get a more detailed look at the interior. Glad to see so much of it before it all changes with the new support structure.
I just loved all of the series - I could listen to more in ever greater detail. Why does this vessel hold such a fascination... a real and tangible physical link to the past.
The next thing would be to see the recovered objects, personal effects, rigging, sails etc. But many thanks for your time in producing this, I will revisit all, as I found it so fascinating. Thanks
Amazing presentation, information, and collection of workmanship by both ancient workers and today's workers. It really is a shame that this video series is not more suggested. I enjoyed all of this collection!
The Vasa had a sister ship, The Apple, built at around the same time. With slightly different changes to the hull, it served the King faithfully for three decades and was finally scuttled for blocking ships in port. The Vasa was close to being a world-class fighting vessel but was both an unlucky ship and hampered by an untested design. Her ill fortune is our gain and a big thank you for the tour!
One of the most fascinating aspects of the Vasa, for me, is that - if it would have been a successful warship with a long service life, we might have never known about it today. It took this tremendous failure for us to be able to learn so much and have the awe-inspiring experience of being able to see it in person. I visit as much as I can but every time it is still so stunning to walk in and see it there in plain view. It's an indescribable experience to stand there and see it in person, every time, for so many years. Probably always will be.

Well put. I was able to see her a few days ago and am still stunned, which is also because the design of the museum is so well in showing Vasa in all her glory.
Not so much an untested design, but a change in the design and the claim that was the biggest ship in the world at that time it's actually wrong. This was a 1310 tonnage ship. The Portuguese where building already bigger ones up to 1600 tonnage prior this one was built and could actually carry around 800 people.
A brilliant series. Thank you very much for filming this guided tour!
I remember crawling through the equivalents of all theses cramped spaces on board the reproduction of the _Batavia_ , when I was a boy.
The then empty space where the ballast was to go seemed vast to me at the time, and I clearly remember the huge deck beams.
That was wonderful so thank you so much.
Mer mer och mer! Många fascinerande detaljer och perspektiv som ni skulle kunna ägna hela avsnitt till! Om ni skulle vända er mer till en engelsktalig publik och engagera er mer i sociala medier samt på youtube så skulle ni snabbt kunna få sprida kunskap till många fler
Thanks so much for letting me (us)see all that! Sorry about the headroom! 😉
Awesome presentation by Fred, who might have the best job in the world!
I think that back when vasa was lost it would have been devastating for the king
But for us now it was a gift from past and we are so lucky that it happened and the ship is with us in such great condition
I have been on victory and was completely blown away by it all
And have seen the Mary rose
I always wanted to see vasa but now never will so I am very happy to see this series 👍👍👍
Why never will? The Vasa will look the same from the outside for many years to come. Not many are allowed a tour inside anyway.
Thanks! I visit the Vasa Museum in 2022 - I'll be back :D
I saw it in 1987 on my honeymoon while they were still spraying the ship with the glycol solution. Still was an amazing experience.
Wow great films thanx. So interesting to see the inside, visited some yrs back
It's great to listen to a REAL American/Brit so the English guiding become 100 % correct 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Interesting
Cant believe none of this will be accessible. Obviously they must have no choice but it's a crying shame. Perhaps in the future there will be an alternative.
I remember the Mary Rose coming up but this is hard to comprehend, 400 years old, Elizabethan age in England.
The Cutty Sark is beautiful, the height of engineering but the Vasa is a romantic taste of a bygone age.
I wonder why the galley was never used 🤔? Maybe because the damn thing wasn't afloat for an hour. Hearing this knot head state the obvious over and over is aggravating as hell. This would have been a much better video if they just filmed the inside of the ship in silence....
