In 1628, Sweden launched what was meant to be the most powerful warship of its timethe Vasa. But within 20 minutes of setting sail, it tragically sank right in Stockholms harbor. Now, nearly 400 years later, the Vasa Museum holds one of the best-preserved shipwrecks in history, offering an unparalleled look into 17th-century naval warfare and engineering failure.
We traveled to Stockholm, Sweden, to explore the Vasa Museum, uncover the fascinating story behind the ships doomed voyage, and speak with Dr. Fred Hocker, the leading expert on the Vasas recovery and restoration. Why did this state-of-the-art warship fail so spectacularly? What secrets does it hold about Swedens ambitions during the Thirty Years War? And how did it become one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time?
Join us as we step inside the Vasa Ship, explore its centuries-old remains, and uncover the shocking truth behind Swedens greatest maritime disaster.
