In this compelling lecture, Viking Resident Historian Dr. Caroline Malloy explores the dramatic story of a 17th-century Swedish warship, the Vasa. From its ill-fated maiden voyage to one of the most ambitious maritime recovery and conservation efforts in history, Dr. Malloy guides you through the ship’s remarkable past and its continued legacy at Stockholm’s world-renowned Vasa Museum. She reveals what the Vasa tells us about naval life, power and craftsmanship in early modern Europe—and why preserving the vessel and sharing its rich history continues to matter today.
