Reply to comment by banestyrelsen in Archaeologists have found the 17th-century warship Applet: Maritime experts believe wreck is sister-ship of Vasa, which sank off Stockholm in 1629 by MeatballDom
>In the summer of 1628, the captain responsible for supervising construction of the ship, Söfring Hansson, arranged for the ship's stability to be demonstrated for Vice Admiral Fleming, who had recently arrived in Stockholm from Prussia.
"Man, this ship seems really unstable. Guess we better test it to see"
>Thirty men ran back and forth across the upper deck to start the ship rolling, but the admiral stopped the test after they had made only three trips, as he feared the ship would capsize.
"Man, this ship is really unstable. Guess we better not take it too far on it's maiden voyage"
>The ship sank after sailing roughly 1,300 m into her maiden voyage on 10 August 1628.
