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.
