Amazing presentation, information, and collection of workmanship by both ancient workers and today's workers. It really is a shame that this video series is not more suggested. I enjoyed all of this collection!
Wow. Thanks for doing this video series. That was awesome to see. Very interesting for sure. I enjoyed the whole thing. Awesome to see such a ship from back then. Very cool.
This probably won't be seen. But I was thinking years ago(because I wasn't fortunate enough to have the funds to travel). How cool it would be to see a video detailing the insides of the Vasa and the ship overall, itself. Very nice.
We aren't allowed to walk around onboard anyways, unless we probably in some shape or form, work at the museum. Or possibly work FOR the museum. Don't quote me on anything, though.
my grandpa was part of vasas vänner(friends of vasa) he payed montly for the work on wasa. i was a kid when they let us aboard. i was allowed to walk on all the decks and se the captains cabin:)
I always thought the quarter galleries on the Vasa were purely decorative - had no idea a person could actually enter them! But that said, why would they? They weren’t heads like we see on say, the Victory, so why make them accessible?
@@josephbrocato6693 Yes she was, every ship built in that era was unique as they did not used drawing at that time in history. And other way she is unique as she is the only surviving warship out of the 17th frame that still survives and more or less intact. And no, the HMS Victory is 150 years younger then this old lady, so do not try to compare the two ships.
Sounds like the new cradle is going to cut up and screw up the ship, why worry about what kind of shoes your wearing if your gonna really screw up what you built..how bought more support all around the bottom, is it just don't have nothing to do now?
Cork has a specific density of approximately 240 kilogram per cubic meter. I'm wondering, if depth had not been an issue, could divers and those at sea level have used contemporary technology to raise the ship with large quantities of cork and rope? Alternatively, what about empty, but watertight oak barells?
In the 17th century?😂 Officers crapped in buckets, emptied over the side by ship boys, the crew crapped via latrines at the ship's bow. Washing was done with sea water (one reason for the rough skin/skin problems of sailers of that age. And lice were removed with combs
@@therovingrobin5938I don't know if I agree with seawater being so rough on the skin. On top of helping heal wounds and the like, all the hardcore surfers I know, like my dad, who sometimes spend or spent every day in the ocean for hours seem to have perfectly healthy skin (maybe al lot of skin cancer, but that's the sun 😂). Sorry for being pedantic 😊
@@EuTrabalhoParaSagres510 nah, that's alright😉 and yes, you're absolutely correct: saltwater is hard on your skin, yet we know, that navies around the world used saltwater for hygiene purposes...Nelson himself insisted, on having his daily bath in sight of his crew for that reason...and sailors did look on average ten years older than their peers ( for that and a number of other reasons)...fresh water on a ship was extremely valuable, so wasting it for bathing wasn't an option
Dude, c'mon! It's a tough as nails Ship from the age of sail! Pretty sure, her belt armor is ½ meter thick and built of solid, northern oak. She can take a little bit of walking on her😂 as for the reason? Well, archeology is never done and they are still learning new things about the ship and the age of sail, it operated in
@@therovingrobin5938 they are talking about gutting the inside of it for sports. No one is really allowed on board. I agree with you she can take it and I don't think that's necessary to destroy the inside.
@@jacobn516 holy fu*ck! Why the heck do they wanna do that??? Idiocy right there (I responded to you comment before watching the video)...they hint at structural problems, hence the need for a new bracing system...but it can't be that bad now, can it??
Currently the ship is supported only by the cradle she sits on. This means the weight of each deck is transferred down through the ships structure to the cradle. Because the wood in the hull has been somewhat weakened by being underwater for years, the structure of the hull is slowly moving and settling. Over time this will distort the hull shape and possibly threaten the structural integrity of the ship. I believe the changes he is talking about will involve steel beams which will support each deck individually and transfer that weight directly to the floor beneath the ship. It’s necessary for the long-term preservation of the ship.
Well, if the only alternative to internal bracing is to have it completely collapse. . .after all, it is hundreds of years old, & spent most of those years at the bottom of the harbour! 🌊
A ship cannot be ingenious if it capsizes after thirty minutes. But it's nice to look at, I've seen it. There is actually a well-preserved, well-built African ship that was built four thousand years before this one. Also with its own museum.
@@dennislindqvist8443ah, yes, the great kingdom of ancient Caucasoids. That makes sense. I didn’t for a second think you meant anything of sub-Saharan origin 😂
Museum =/= Shrine, and the Vasa museum is just a museum built around a quirk of nature that a ship that sank in 1628 hadn't rotted away to nothing by the time technology had advanced far enough to raise and preserve her.
It’s not a shrine. ? No one thinks this ship is sacred or was the greatest ship ever built. It’s a museum so people can see how life was hundreds of years ago and maybe learn something.
@@MT-rg4zb It would have been the most effective ship in the seas if Adolfus hadn't gotten greedy and ordered that it be massively overladen with ornamentation (largely depicting himself and his achievements, which were incredible btw) on top of doubling the number of cannons it was built for. 34 cannons is already an extremely heavily armed ship for the time, and they doubled it at the last second. Plus the idiot in charge, forget his name, should have had the gun hatches closed... 😢. He was arrested following the sinking btw.
A shrine? 😅 Its a museum! Maybe you should look what the purpose of a museum is. Titanic also sank during its mayden voyage! I promise you that if Titanic was put in a museum it would be one of the most visited museum in the world!
Why do Americans dress in that way like they are from eighteenth century. You see a lot of academics trying to look smarter with bow ties too. Very odd.
Where have you seen this? If you mean hipsters, they sometimes mimic (poorly) some kind of 19th century gentleman's outfit, with weird curly mustaches that are more Napoleonic french.... Yeah I'm a pedantic history nerd and I hate hipsters, sorry not sorry 😂
Thank you for the video. But I got bored with looking at the man, and left. You commit the unforgivable sin of turning your video into a documentary about the presenter! I saw comparatively very little of the ship; the camera was consistently focused on your presenter! I'm sure his family was thrilled to see him on video, but his face does nothing for the other viewers! He should of course be introduced to the viewer, but then become a disembodied voice, narrating the subject at hand. Instead, you've wasted the viewer's time, as we try unsuccessfully to see what we tuned in to see.

Fred Hocker makes an excellent presentation in this series. Kudos.
Thank you! Will visit this summer!
went there in June
One of the most interesting museums in the world, even better than the Mary Rose in the UK, the ship is sensational!

FYI no one can come onboard her save for staff.
Lovely video series. Thank you so much. I would love to visit the museum at some point.
Great video. Never seen a tour after preservation.
great video, sad i will never get the chance to walk around onboard myself though.

Or possibly work FOR the museum.

As a graphic designer working on one of Fred Hocker's books I was given the opportunity of exploring the ship. An amazing experience!
Fred Hocker does an amazing job on this presentation. Kudos.

Terrific videos. Excellent soundtrack too.
a fascinating sight! - amazing.
Lo visite en 2023, es increible!
Mindblowing, great boat and project 🎉
❤
It would be a good idea just to give us a little history of the ship to begin with.
google it, she is famous enough.
Reminds me of something from “Hook” (1991) Neverland.
@Randomdudeacc Hook is a movie about Peter Pan with Dustin Hoffman

"not sure how 'this' space may have been used" ... it floated for 20 minutes, they didn't yet know how, much of it, would be used either
I don’t think anyone, no matter the century, builds something with so much care and time, to not know what it’s used for …..
I agree, but i also think that it's quite probable that several of those rooms were just "miscellaneous storage" types of rooms@res8532
Do you think vasa was the only of her kind ever? lol
@@josephbrocato6693 Yes she was, every ship built in that era was unique as they did not used drawing at that time in history.

Where did the timbers originally come from
Trees
Few. Good thing they made that top deck so light to shave weight. You wouldn’t what a ship to tip over or anything….
I wish to see it. Never step on warship. From Indonesia 🇮🇩
I am impressed with your English. Your spelling is even perfect, sadly not true of most native English-speakers on RUclips. From Canada. 🇨🇦
👨🎓

Why doesn’t this have more views
Is Fred on the spectrum? Dude is a genius lol
What is the music? I cant find it using credits..

I remember being there for 8 hours when I was 15 y.o.
Låt mig gå på skeppet nästa gång jag är där! Jag känner gossen som var kung på den tiden:)
I was his father. They should let me on first!
The fact that they're going to fill the interior with support structures is a travesty.
How about hygiene onboard?

What's up with his forehead?
Maybe he hit it in the low doorways :-)
Sebaceous cyst.
Why mess up the inside of the ship like that just to have some support?

No body understands E.U. MEASUREMENTS.
SO, YOU'RE BASICALLY GOING TO COMPLETELY SPOIL THE SHIP

Since you can’t spell, I completely disregard anything you have to say
Wow. This ship is astonishingly ingenious. Europe was pretty advanced in the 1600’s. Asia was as well. Africa……………..
Nothing's changed 😂

A shrine to a ship that sank its first day out..? Half way through the clip I started wondering where the narrator got that knot on his forehead!!
It’s a perfectly preserved time capsule you dolt

The shoes are about as far from the 18th century as you can get.

Pretty sure blue jeans weren’t a thing in the 18th century.
