Why did the Vasa sink and who were on the ship?
This documentary describes why the Swedish flagship Vasa sank on its maiden journey in 1628, the importance of the ship at the time, and who were on the ship.
The wreck was raised in 1961 and the conservation of the ship was started. Later a museum was built around the conserved ship, which museum is the most popular museum in Sweden. The documentary explains what led to the catasthrophe and how life on board a ship like this was for its crew of abt 500 sailors. In the program DNA based methods to are explained and used to investigate the crew. Also modeling of faces of the crew is shown.
This is a well done and informative documentary.
