The Sinking of the Vasa: A Shipwreck of Titanic Proportions
Written by Russell Freedman, Illustrated by William Low


Very interesting story about the King of Sweden’s monstrous naval ship. I liked the fact that it gave a full history of the Vasa from the conception clear through the raising of the ship until it was housed in a museum. It seemed like a ship that was not only for war but also had amazing craftsmanship and art.
