商品簡介
The Vasa, a state-of-the-art Swedish warship, which sank in 1628 on its maiden voyage, was brought up from the sea in the 1950s and is now preserved in the Vasa Museum. Hocker, the museum's director presents a complete account of the ship's history, construction, use, crew, and the excavation, in a chronological account written for the non-specialist reader. Heavily illustrated, with many photos, dioramas, and reconstructions of the original ship and its crew, the history is as detailed in its description of daily life for the 17th-century mariner as it is for the process of the recovery and conservation of the ship. Co-published by the MedstrA?ms BokfA?rlag, the volume is distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation Ac2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
