In collaboration with the Swedish Navy the archaeologists surveyed a strait at Vaxholm just outside Stockholm. While a large shipwreck was discovered there in 2021, the team could only identify the wreck in the spring of 2022 und reveal its details as very similar to Sweden\u2019s most famous shipwreck, Vasa. Commissioned by the King of Sweden Gustavus Adolphus and build in 1629, only a year after the sinking of Vasa, the ship was designed by the same shipbuilder who completed Vasa, but contained improvements to the design. However, the construction still proved to be unsuccessful. After service in Europe's 30 Years' War, \xc4pplet was deliberately sunk in Vaxholm in the Stockholm archipelago in 1659, when it was deemed unseaworthy. The important discovery adds another key piece to the puzzle of the development of shipbuilding that eventually lead to Sweden\u2019s emergence as a great power in the 1600s and its dominance in the Baltic Sea.\nExtra Media:\nMap: https://goo.gl/maps/TSiad5UDrRPQVheE6\nVideo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_69o4NK8aCc\nVasa Museum: https://www.vasamuseet.se/en \nThis is an episode of the Curiously Polar podcast\nwith\nChris Marquardt https://chrismarquardt.com/\nHenry P\xe1ll Wulff: https://henrypall.com/\nMario Acquarone https://www.buymeacoffee.com/polarmario\nListen to all podcast episodes at https://curiouslypolar.com\nAll video episodes at https://tfttf.com/curiouslypolarvideo\nFind us here:\nWeb: https://curiouslypolar.com\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/curiouslypolar\nInstagram: https://instagram.com/curiouslypolar
