As many on these forums who have an interest in modelling of ships would be aware, occasionally there are seminal reference works which become available to assist in the accuracy and realism of the models we build. For many years, the Vasa I book "The Archaeology of a Swedish Warship of 1628" has stood as one such of these reference works (first published in 2006 and written by C.O. Cederlund, with editing by Dr Fred Hocker).
The second of these works, many years in the writing and with detailed research, will be finally released for sale. The book Vasa II will be available next Tuesday, the 21st of November, 2023. This book contains 476 pages and 400 illustrations, primarily about the rigging and steering on the ship and will stand as another reference work and a testament to the outstanding research and dedication by those within the Vasamuseet in Sweden and to this wonderfully preserved ship.
Requests for sale of the book can be made by contacting the Vasamuseet on the web or at:
