The Kingship Vasa


For those who doubt the wisdom of questioning our leaders, consider the story of the Kingship Vasa.
The story is long and sad. Part of it is that the Swedish King ordered a second row of gun ports, which the design could not carry. The ship was insanely big and expensive. It sank on the way out of the habor on its maiden voyage!
