It was the King himself who was to blame for the shoddy design. When the keel of the Vasa was laid down, she was intended to be a warship with one heavy gun deck, and one light gun deck. But then the King said he wanted it to have two heavy gun decks instead. The keel had already been laid down, so they had to work it into the existing design. Two heavy gun decks would have been too heavy, and to compensate, they had to reduce the ballast. But this made her top heavy, and when a gust of wind hit the sails - the English text in the Vasa museum says "squall", but that's a mistranslation at best: squalls suddenly appear, but they do not simply disappear in an instant, and this was a calm day with no storms reported - she started taking in water through the gun ports of the lower gun deck. So of course they couldn't find out who the guilty party was, because that would mean casting a glance towards the throne, and that was an obvious no-no. But this was arguably not even the most embarrassing naval disaster for Sweden. At least with the Vasa, the enemy was not there to watch. During the battle of Öland, however, the Swedish flagship Kronan attempted a turn in rough seas. Before the battle had even commenced, it started turning, and then heeled over and exploded - not having fired a single shot. This would have been quite a spectacle to behold for the Danes, who gained a major victory that day.
They also did a test on the ship when i was i harbour, when the crew was running from styrbord to babord but they stopped it because they where afraid the ship would turn over.

I went to the Vasa museum couple of years ago. It's an interesting place. A funny anecdote: when the Vasa had been found and was being slowly lifted from the bottom of the sea in 1961, finnish students rowed to the ship (which was at this point just below the surface) during one night and placed a statue of Paavo Nurmi (a legendary finnish runner) onboard. Swedish marine archeologists found the statue and it caused quite a stir for a while.
Skanda Baby tho Sweden have alot of history, lets mot forget that Finland wasent a country by it self until the 1900 century! So we could count that They have the same history! Many famous generals in the swedish army was from finland! And its a saying in russia that if u wherent Nice the swedish or the (a certain finnish cavelry group) would get u! And i Dont understand Why Sweden and finland hate each others Sweden or finland wouldent exist if we dident help each others!
I remember reading about this as a kid, the builders and designers knew the ship would probably be unstable but construction had already been started and nobody wanted to be the one to tell the king that his flagship would be delayed... I remember thinking "wow, bunch of idiots built a ship that would sink in a light breeze because nobody wanted to be the one to say 'hey, this won't work'. Glad I don't live in a society where people ignore glaring warning signs because addressing them would be inconvenient". God, how naive I was...
Pretty much. This build had staff contracted from multiple countries. People who supposedly did give several warnings that the design was unsustainable. But the King had to have it his way. And the rest is history.
english ship the mary rose did exactly the same thing turned too tight with lower deck gun ports open water rushed in sank like a stone thought we were the only ones that did that thanks billy boy
The Dutch master shipbuilder in charge actually knew the ship was unstable once it was afloat for the first time and wanted to add more ballast but that would make the lower gun deck unusable. Generally ships back then were built on sight and experience and not on engineering calculations so there had to be some trial and error. But the Swedish king insisted on having that gun deck as his ship had to have the most guns of any ship in the Baltic. And it's maiden voyage had to sail fully equipped and with the gun ports open for propaganda issues. So the expert was ignored, things went wrong as he predicted and of course afterwards all the blame went to the expert. Who conveniently also was a foreigner.

Apparently the king at the time commissioned this ship to be built - and ALL the engineers were like "this boat won't be able to float" because the blueprints were clear as day. The king didn't listen, just wanted the baddest ship around. Built it. It sank.
Well the Vasa did sink but her sister ship Äpplet didn't. It was the exact same desing except it was about 1m wider. The ships were extremely tall and shallow to accomadate Gustav II's love for cannons (he's the father of modern warfare and artillery for fuck's sake!) and the unfortunate fact that his coastline is practically just archipelagos. Excluding the Vasa these ships were the biggest, baddest gunlplatforms in the Baltic. The Vasa had roughly, if not a little more, firepower than the USS Constitution: a ship built 169 years later weighing around 700 tonnes more. Sure the engineers probably didn't believe in him but when Äpplet, Kronan, Scepter and Göta Ark left dock and proceeded to dominate the Baltic the king in question proved that boarding is for pussies, real admirals use superior firepower.
Not accurate. Historians know why it sank, it was not a mystery. In those days there were no blueprints, that is a much later invention and there were no standardised measurements. The man responsible for the ship was the only one who knew every detail about how to put it together which was a closely guarded secret and he died before it was finished. When he died his wife was supposed to finish it and failed, it was a disaster. If she had told the king that she was not able to finish the project then the ship would not have been put to sea. On the other hand, if she did the king probably would have killed her anyway. They were Dutch.
@@b.benjamineriksson6030 The widow only took over as head of the company she inherited, she didn't design or build the ship. The skill set of a shipwright is not inheritable, so Hein Jakobsson (who was Hybertsson's assistant) became the new shipwright, and he worked from the plans given to him by Hybertsson. No one would have been killed for admitting incompetence, they would just have been replaced. Hybertsson's widow was Swedish.
@@joeknow3712 Until Gustavus western armies fought in tercio formations. The dutch made attempts to change this but ultimately Gustavus would bring line formations into their full glory. You could argue that yes, they had fighter pilots and tanks. The purpose of airplanes are to control the battlefield and harass the enemy, the purpose of tanks are heavy shock units. Gustavus had troops which filled roughly the same same roles. Swedish Hakkapelliter, Light cavalry from Finland, would harass the enemy as the reformed heavy cavalry charged and disrupted their formations leaving openings for infantry assaults aided by light, mobile artillery. This use of shock is the basis for western warfare and it has been used everywhere from Napoleon's brilliant tactics to the German lightning warfare or "Blitzkrieg" used in the 2nd world war. Tanks would penetrate enemy lines as Stuka dive bombers harassed the enemy whilst the infantry attacked behind all this. It still shares many similarities with the Swedish tactics despite coming 300 years after the end of the 30 year's war. So yes, despite their technology being worse Gustavus was the father of modern warfare.
The thing is that they knew this was going to happen. You always test the stability of the ship in the water at bay in a sort of canal by basically having men run from side to side to wobble it. And that thing was so tall and slim and had such an off centre of gravity that they only had to run back and forth twice for it to wobble dangerously much. But with that the king still demanded it would be set sail because he didn’t want the project to be seen as a failure. Also a reason why they couldn’t really find anyone to blame for the disaster because the one really to blame was the king and the king is more or less untouchable.
1. I’ve been to that museum and part of the problem was they screwed up the ballast and as soon as it started to list a little bit it all shifted. There were literally piles of rocks in the bottom. 2. The Suzuki Samurai DID rollover easily, Consumer Reports destroyed their sales by rating it unacceptable. Suzukis own internal documents noted that and there have been hundreds of lawsuits against them over the years. CR did the world a favor. 3. Absolutely fantastic job of editing I hope Bill himself watches this and appreciates the time and effort this must’ve taken
1. Wrong. They filled upp the ballast so the space was totally filled and couldn't shift. But it would have been better if it had been gravel instead of large stones. That way they would have had room for more ballast. But then she would have been lower in the water and the cannon ports would have been much to close to the water. The whole construction was wrong. But at that time it was all trial and error, before they learnt what worked or not. No computer to help you check the stability.
Focusing on the wrong thing here, but that last line by Riley's character is really powerful to me. Like he doesn't spare a thought for himself, just regrets how hard it's gonna be for his kid.
Can any nerds explain why the boat failed? Was the lower gun deck too low, allowing water to get in through the cannon holes in the event of the boat tipping like that?
It's not easy to explain but there's a lot of factors play into it the first is that it was probably too heavy of a ship, or it could have just been a freak accident but the fact of how big of a shi[ it was played into how in sunk so easy.
The ship was designed with one Gun deck, the king ordered a second Gun deck to be added against the warnings of the designer. The ship almost tipped over when a stability test was performed at the dock before the maiden voyage. But war was looming and the king gets what the king wants.
In both the Vasa, and the Andrea Gail, incorrect stability was a contributing factor in their respective sinkings. The G.M. (The metacentric height (GM) is a measurement of the initial static stability of a floating body. It is calculated as the distance between the centre of gravity of a ship and its metacentre.) Bill actually explained it pretty well, without using the language of naval architecture.
Sweden has a long history of naval failures. The story about the ship kronan is also pretty impressive. The enemy saw it blowing up without a shot fired after a dearing maneuver.
Fun fact Gustavus Adolphus was known in Germany as "The Lion of the North" that's why they had the those lions there. He was a renowned warrior king spreading all manners of terror throughout the 30 year war in the Germanic kingdoms in a religious war. Basically a European Jihad
Not gonna lie, if I was about to die by drowning and there were powerful drugs at my disposal I would pouring, snorting, swallowing and shoving them into all of my holes. ALL of them. Fill me up with fun before I fill up with water.
Study Swedish battleship Kronan, it sank few years later. It was even bigger. In battle against danes, (I am Danish). It tipped to one side, gunpowder exploded. 800ppl died as I remember.
Advice for anyone reading this, wanting to do a Swedish accent: 1. Don´t sound German. 2. Don´t speak monotone, but more melodic. Swedish use double emphacis on many words, while English use single emphacis. 3. Don´t say "Ja" in the end of sentences. No Swedes does that. When people does that they sound South African, not Swedish. 4. Struggle with the "th" sound, pronounce "three" as "tree". 5. Same thing with the "sh" and "ch"-sounds. Pronouce words like "cheap" as "sheep". 6. Mix up the pronounciation of W and V, and say things like "Wikings" instead of "Vikings" and "Villiam" instead of "William". 7. Same thing with J and Y, say things like "Yeans" instead of "Jeans", and "Jellow" instead of "Yellow".
Yeah, I visited it a long time ago. It is amazing. When I was there they were spraying some kind of preservative all over it to displace the water in the wood.
Was it not sea water they were spraying on it?. I visited the mary rose and that is constantly sprayed with sea water to stop it drying out and rotting.
A sqwal has no waves. It is from zero to 60 with no waves. sailship would have been vulnerable and how I lost 5 uncles to the sea. all 5 on the same fishing sailboat. the sails are an open umbrella in the wind.all sails must be up to deflect the sudden gust.also by those pictures that ship had all portals open. Show off they were and red faces at the end.
Right? It's their job. I'm a waiter and we are asked to call HOT! when passing behind someone so people don't bump us, causing accidents, because that's the ''dangers'' I have to deal with. Soldiers are trained to scream Gas! three times if they spot a gas threat. I could very well believe sailors also call a rogue wave for what it is. Two syllables, short and to the point.
As the owner of a Cobra Mustang (that actually knows how to bang gears and sidestep clutches without crashing-rare, I know) I just have to say how grateful I am that the demonstrative clip used here was not a mustang. Thank you. I catch enough hell already 💀
The problem with this ship was that when they were almost done the king came and said ”I WANT IT BIGGER! AND ANOTHER DECK OF CANONS!” The builders told him that it would not work. But the king said ”BUILD IT OR DIE!” But please, Bill! We don’t speak with a german accent in Sweden 😂
If you live near a large lake or the ocean, a squall is a sudden sharp storm usually with heavy rain and wind that passes very quickly. Like a small thunder storm . Sometimes they form a squall line associated with a fast moving cold front or upper level trough.
I started watching this with captions and no sound in the thumbnail, and the first line was "Like a boss I went to a museum yesterday". I thought, ok weird, but I'll follow the setup...
The Vasa ship was at first ment to only have one battery deck but the king ordered a second battery deck when they had already started the construction and therefore the ship got too small to its height and got instabile since no one dared correct the king on the matter. She sunk in central Stockholm and her golden stern could be seen from the cliffs on Södermalm. The masts also pierced the surface of the water during many years...
The painting at 2:28 (and the picture image showing video) is another Swedish Ship! The Vasa Ship sank on port (left) side year 1626, like you may see in all other places in this video and books of history! But the ship in the painting at time 2:28 on this video is sinking on right (starboard) and in Fact it is the Swedish Ship Götheborg I which has sank 1738 (112 years after Vasa). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Götheborg_(ship)

Swedish Hakkapelliter, Light cavalry from Finland, would harass the enemy as the reformed heavy cavalry charged and disrupted their formations leaving openings for infantry assaults aided by light, mobile artillery.
This use of shock is the basis for western warfare and it has been used everywhere from Napoleon's brilliant tactics to the German lightning warfare or "Blitzkrieg" used in the 2nd world war. Tanks would penetrate enemy lines as Stuka dive bombers harassed the enemy whilst the infantry attacked behind all this. It still shares many similarities with the Swedish tactics despite coming 300 years after the end of the 30 year's war.
So yes, despite their technology being worse Gustavus was the father of modern warfare.
The thing is that they knew this was going to happen. You always test the stability of the ship in the water at bay in a sort of canal by basically having men run from side to side to wobble it. And that thing was so tall and slim and had such an off centre of gravity that they only had to run back and forth twice for it to wobble dangerously much. But with that the king still demanded it would be set sail because he didn’t want the project to be seen as a failure. Also a reason why they couldn’t really find anyone to blame for the disaster because the one really to blame was the king and the king is more or less untouchable.
The “saved by the bell” music stinger after John C. Reilly at the end is brutal, love it.
This is an absolutely fantastic clip channel.
03:35 That job still isn't as difficult as being a mother
They have these Lions on the gun ports and they do not look happy!! Haha made my day
As i swede, i admit, that was an oopsie and a pretty hilarious one when you think of it.
Well, we don't really need you admitting it was an oopsie to know this was a God damn disaster
Must have been the rising sea levels from climate change caused by the production of the thing....How DARE You!..
it's amazing to see this rare video footage from the 1600's 😊 love bill burr
lmao this editing is so on point
Your editing is just brilliant.
Quality clips. Overall nice watch this time of night
Every now and then Bill surprises me with his interests
Use me as a "Allen's editing is fucking awesome and he should be praised more" button
Nah I’ll use the dislike button on your comment to say that
I love that Bill talks about these subjects
When he did the german accent as a swedish accent 💀
Swede´s, Swiss, Germans... All the same for Murican´s.
Dark Of Light jänkare tror de är störst bäst och vackrast men uppfyller bara deras första ambition.
Went there on my 10th birthday. It's unbelievably grandiose.
The Vasa museum is there as a warning...Dont screw up royaly
Did I make myself dumb enough to get it to be on podcast ??
yeas yeas yessssssssss u diddddd
i have been to the Vasa museum, but listening to BUrr talking about it, gave it a new (amusing) twist
The idea of Bill Burr trabeling back in time and being a badass dude is hilarious
Rouge wave is when smaller waves collide and its a real thing that can sink even the biggest ships in the right conditions
yo Bill you effin lunatic you are treating this boat like 2 pit bulls running up the stairs of an apt building lol
Has Bill ever given this guy a shout out? Really amazing work here
I also went to that museum, it was awesome, well worth a visit if your in Stockholm!
1. I’ve been to that museum and part of the problem was they screwed up the ballast and as soon as it started to list a little bit it all shifted. There were literally piles of rocks in the bottom. 2. The Suzuki Samurai DID rollover easily, Consumer Reports destroyed their sales by rating it unacceptable. Suzukis own internal documents noted that and there have been hundreds of lawsuits against them over the years. CR did the world a favor. 3. Absolutely fantastic job of editing I hope Bill himself watches this and appreciates the time and effort this must’ve taken
1. Wrong. They filled upp the ballast so the space was totally filled and couldn't shift. But it would have been better if it had been gravel instead of large stones. That way they would have had room for more ballast. But then she would have been lower in the water and the cannon ports would have been much to close to the water. The whole construction was wrong. But at that time it was all trial and error, before they learnt what worked or not. No computer to help you check the stability.

Focusing on the wrong thing here, but that last line by Riley's character is really powerful to me. Like he doesn't spare a thought for himself, just regrets how hard it's gonna be for his kid.
Can any nerds explain why the boat failed? Was the lower gun deck too low, allowing water to get in through the cannon holes in the event of the boat tipping like that?
It's not easy to explain but there's a lot of factors play into it the first is that it was probably too heavy of a ship, or it could have just been a freak accident but the fact of how big of a shi[ it was played into how in sunk so easy.
The ship was designed with one Gun deck, the king ordered a second Gun deck to be added against the warnings of the designer. The ship almost tipped over when a stability test was performed at the dock before the maiden voyage. But war was looming and the king gets what the king wants.
In both the Vasa, and the Andrea Gail, incorrect stability was a contributing factor in their respective sinkings. The G.M. (The metacentric height (GM) is a measurement of the initial static stability of a floating body. It is calculated as the distance between the centre of gravity of a ship and its metacentre.) Bill actually explained it pretty well, without using the language of naval architecture.
Good job on all your vids. But the editing in this one was pretty phenomenal.
Sweden has a long history of naval failures. The story about the ship kronan is also pretty impressive. The enemy saw it blowing up without a shot fired after a dearing maneuver.
Fun fact Gustavus Adolphus was known in Germany as "The Lion of the North" that's why they had the those lions there. He was a renowned warrior king spreading all manners of terror throughout the 30 year war in the Germanic kingdoms in a religious war. Basically a European Jihad
Remember when Billy Red Balls couldn’t figure out how boats floated. Bill never forget or learn idk what keeps him funny
The cutaways are always pristine! I love it!
What you yell is "get the ludes!!!"
Not gonna lie, if I was about to die by drowning and there were powerful drugs at my disposal I would pouring, snorting, swallowing and shoving them into all of my holes. ALL of them. Fill me up with fun before I fill up with water.
Study Swedish battleship Kronan, it sank few years later. It was even bigger. In battle against danes, (I am Danish). It tipped to one side, gunpowder exploded. 800ppl died as I remember.
Advice for anyone reading this, wanting to do a Swedish accent:
1. Don´t sound German.
2. Don´t speak monotone, but more melodic. Swedish use double emphacis on many words, while English use single emphacis.
3. Don´t say "Ja" in the end of sentences. No Swedes does that. When people does that they sound South African, not Swedish.
4. Struggle with the "th" sound, pronounce "three" as "tree".
5. Same thing with the "sh" and "ch"-sounds. Pronouce words like "cheap" as "sheep".
6. Mix up the pronounciation of W and V, and say things like "Wikings" instead of "Vikings" and "Villiam" instead of "William".
7. Same thing with J and Y, say things like "Yeans" instead of "Jeans", and "Jellow" instead of "Yellow".
yeah i dont think he or anyone else pretty much cares, it was all done in jest
those tips are pretty accurate
i've never in my life heard an english-speaker pull off a swedish accent; they usually go for a german accent, or something that sounds like indian :P
Åsa S I see you everywhere
Whatever, that accent was spot fucking on
If he yelled GET DOWN
They'd all get up and start dancing! lol
1. Queen Anne's Revenge
2. HMS Enterprise
3. Vasa
I think I read somewhere that Blackbeard ran the Revenge aground on purpose then took off on another smaller ship with all the loot.
Yeah, I visited it a long time ago. It is amazing. When I was there they were spraying some kind of preservative all over it to displace the water in the wood.
Was it not sea water they were spraying on it?. I visited the mary rose and that is constantly sprayed with sea water to stop it drying out and rotting.
How zer : Maybe. It’s was a long time ago (1973?). I could be wrong. Relatively speaking, it hadn’t been out of the water too long. It is amazing.
Great editing jeez where'd you find that Jeopardy clip??
I think we need Bill Burr as a narrator on History Channel
A sqwal has no waves. It is from zero to 60 with no waves. sailship would have been vulnerable and how I lost 5 uncles to the sea. all 5 on the same fishing sailboat. the sails are an open umbrella in the wind.all sails must be up to deflect the sudden gust.also by those pictures that ship had all portals open. Show off they were and red faces at the end.
Keep putting in work Allan! Your editing is getting even better!
Anyone on a fishing ship would yell rogue wave!! And we do!
Right? It's their job. I'm a waiter and we are asked to call HOT! when passing behind someone so people don't bump us, causing accidents, because that's the ''dangers'' I have to deal with. Soldiers are trained to scream Gas! three times if they spot a gas threat. I could very well believe sailors also call a rogue wave for what it is. Two syllables, short and to the point.
nah you would just yell AH FUCK ME NOT AGAIN!
I find the story is used quite frequently during business motivational speeches. Evidently, most people don’t learn these lessons on hubris.
wtf that ending was dark af
Remember kids: the ocean will kill you. Slowly.
That's a great line "This will be hard on my boy". Exactly everything he was thinking about.
bloody legend for doing these videos
*dying*
"This is gonna be hard on my little boy"
*sitcom music*
That music at the end just after that line. Gees Bill lol!
Bill Burr doesnt know what a squall is?! Ok I’m calling it, this dude isn’t from Boston
As the owner of a Cobra Mustang (that actually knows how to bang gears and sidestep clutches without crashing-rare, I know) I just have to say how grateful I am that the demonstrative clip used here was not a mustang. Thank you. I catch enough hell already 💀
The problem with this ship was that when they were almost done the king came and said ”I WANT IT BIGGER! AND ANOTHER DECK OF CANONS!”
The builders told him that it would not work. But the king said ”BUILD IT OR DIE!”
But please, Bill! We don’t speak with a german accent in Sweden 😂
Sweden is a germanic language and I think he was going more of a dutch approach which seemed appropriate.
Jebu911 I am swedish. I know how we NOT speak. And that was a german accent and not even dutch
If you live near a large lake or the ocean, a squall is a sudden sharp storm usually with heavy rain and wind that passes very quickly. Like a small thunder storm . Sometimes they form a squall line associated with a fast moving cold front or upper level trough.
Spain was the first to coin “the sun never set on the Spanish empire.”
The sun still never sets in Sweden to this day (summertime, northern parts) beat that spaintards
I started watching this with captions and no sound in the thumbnail, and the first line was
"Like a boss I went to a museum yesterday".
I thought, ok weird, but I'll follow the setup...
Story time is way better with Bill Burr. Imagine him as a history teacher. I would have paid more attention in history class.
The Vasa ship was at first ment to only have one battery deck but the king ordered a second battery deck when they had already started the construction and therefore the ship got too small to its height and got instabile since no one dared correct the king on the matter. She sunk in central Stockholm and her golden stern could be seen from the cliffs on Södermalm. The masts also pierced the surface of the water during many years...
Ah don't worry, I'm sure the war turned out fine for King Gustavus Adolphus.
The painting at 2:28 (and the picture image showing video) is another Swedish Ship! The Vasa Ship sank on port (left) side year 1626, like you may see in all other places in this video and books of history! But the ship in the painting at time 2:28 on this video is sinking on right (starboard) and in Fact it is the Swedish Ship Götheborg I which has sank 1738 (112 years after Vasa). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Götheborg_(ship)
it's like the ship from goonies
