In full sail with flags flying, the mighty warship capsized and began
to sink.
This is the saga of the great Swedish warship, the Vasa. Built to be
the crown jewel of the Swedish Navy, the Vasa capsized not a mile into
her maiden voyage in 1628--a tragedy resulting in many deaths and great
loss. But who was to blame? Award-winning author Russell Freedman
explores the history of this ship, and her resurrection from the seas in
1961. William Low's gorgeous illustrations bring The Sinking of the
Vasa to life.
