More about the book

Set against the backdrop of early seventeenth-century Stockholm, the narrative delves into the ambitious shipbuilding efforts of Sweden during its imperial expansion. The focus is on the construction of the Vasa, a warship commissioned by King Gustavus Adolphus amid conflict with Poland. Despite the expertise of Dutch shipbuilder Henrik Hybertsson, the lack of precise engineering principles led to fundamental design flaws. The Vasa's tragic sinking on its maiden voyage highlights the rudimentary understanding of naval architecture at the time, particularly concerning stability and buoyancy.
