The article discusses the discovery of the 17th-century shipwreck of the Swedish warship "Vasa" near Stockholm, Sweden.

Archaeologist Fred Hocker leads the study of the ship at the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, where a digital model of the ship was created using laser-surveying. Specific topics include the preservation of the ship, theories about the reason that the ship sank, and how Dutch and English shipbuilding styles were combined in the construction of the ship.

*SHIPWRECKS, *SAILING ships, *HISTORY of shipbuilding, *UNDERWATER archaeology, *NAVAL ordnance, *SIXTEENTH century
Abstract

We report recent fieldwork on an early-16th-century wreck in the Stockholm archipelago, Sweden. The discovery not only provides new insights into early carvel shipbuilding and its adoption across northern Europe but manifests the changing role of ships and the nature of power and agency in the process of state formation at the dawn of the modern world. © 2012 The Authors [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
