So the KIng of Sweden wanted to make a statement to the rest of Europe and insisted on 2 levels of guns and this is what sunk this ship in the 1600's. It was top heavy--not wide enough in the bottom and not enough ballast and she caught a bit of wind as she tried to get out of the harbour and heeled over far enough to take on water through the bottom gun ports and down she went on her maiden sailing. Some statement!!!Made for a great example of 16th century shipping though when the salvaged her. its 90% original with the oak surviving in the less salty conditions of Stockholm harbour
