Lesson 27-3The 'Vasa'
As the wind freshened there came a sudden squall and the ship made a strange
movement, listing to port. The Ordnance officer ordered all the port cannon to be
heaved to starboard to counteract the list, but the steepening angle of the decks
increased. Then the sound of rumbling thunder reached the watchers on the shore, as
cargo, ballast, ammunition and 400 people went sliding and crashing down to the port
side of the steeply listing ship. The lower gun-ports were now below water and the
inrush sealed the ship's fate. In that first glorious hour, the mighty Vasa, which was
intended to rule the Baltic, sank with all flags flying-in the harbour of her birth.
