INTRODUCTION TO THE WASA
The Wasa
• On August 10th, 1628 the most expensive
ship in Swedish history sank after
travelling only 1300 metres.
• The reason is that a small amount of
wind caused the ship to tilt, and water
poured in through the open gun portals.
• The ship was salvaged in 1961 and placed
in a museum (pictured to the left).
• After the ship itself and historical
records were analyzed, it was discovered
that the ship was inherently unstable.
