From the article, after Vasa sank three ships were ordered from the same shipwright to similar designs. They were the Crown, Sceptre, and this one, Applet (Apple). Two of these ships served in war and this one was sunk on purpose, upon decommissioning, likely as a submerged spike-strip to foul unawares attackers.
*not much we know about them from physical medium. The archeological record of England generally goes Neolithic -> Roman -> ???? -> Norman. Any find that fills in that time between the retreat of the legions and the invasion of the Normans is of critical importance
