The VASA -- Pride of the Swedish Navy

Launched in 1628 her maiden and subsequent final voyage consisted of a 1,400 yard voyage ending in a sudden capsize and sinking. A tad top-heavy --- Were told the ship's design flaw had more to due with the kings last minute order to add additional guns to her top deck --- Due to interior darkness had to boost the ISO up to 4,000

Good shots!
Always been interested in archeology, so remember when they first recovered the ship. Fantastic job & difference.
Worth going to the museum web site for the story. Google Vasamuseet.

Very nice set. Looks to me like it had a ton of carving up high that contributed to the top-heaviness. Something to be said for 'lean and mean' that must have not applied in this design.
