Mentioned because several of you are on tall ships--
A couple of recently found warships near Stockholm might have been designed
in response to the Vasa debacle. No old tools found, so far, but I'm pretty
sure they aren't finding any biscuit joints either.

Thanks for that Curt.  I went to 2 tall ships facebook pages to post and found
the article was already up.  Interesting how the Vasa  sank because it was too
narrow, and this next attempt was worthless as a war ship because they
overcompensated and made it too wide.
