    This photo of the Wasa passed through my feed today -- I was at the museum in Stockholm back in the late 1970's. Great place to visit and the ship is magnificent to see -- it was under serious restoration when I was there, so I really appreciated this photo:

    Great photo Bill. She is in much better nick than the Mary Rose, and she herself is very impressive.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
