Vasa, the King`s Ship -- Bengt Ohrelius

Condition : Good.

        First English Edition, Cassell, 1974, Hardback with removable protective plastic wrap - Naval History - 124 pp. Previous Library copy.

         Fascinating account of Vasa, the ill-fated ship whose maiden voyage in 1628 lasted little more than two hours, and was followed by 330 years of silence at the bottom of the waters of Stockholm harbour--a strange fate for a man-of-war built to maintain Sweden's power in the Baltic against the threatened attack by the Habsburg Empire.
