Episode notes
Gustav the second, who was the king of sweden at the time, saw this vital need to upgrade his armada of ships. He found the shipbuilder and tasked him to build what became known as the vasa. The project was of the utmost iportance to king gustav, so much so that he allocated a whole forest, a thousand trees, to provide the lumber for the project. And even as they approached completion, the king changed his mind, perhaps not surprisingly, again, asking for 64 large cannons instead. Tragically, it took just 50 minutes for the vasa to completely sink, taking 53 crew members with it.
