JanV Posted February 17, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 17, 2013 A very nice book, published by the team who are resposible for the recovery of the Vasa over 500 pages, some impression of the book: next issue is expected for 2013, according one of the authors Fred Hockner (working in the Vasa Museum) and will be mostly about the masts, and all related details. I cannot wait to order this book as soon as it is published Archi 1 Quote Jan V. current build: Vasa-1628 Corel / Battle Station Mantua/Panart, previous: Statenjacht / Cross section HMS Victory / diorama shipyard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salty Sea Dog Posted January 5, 2014 Share #3 Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) I have copies of Fred Hocker's "Vasa A Swedish Warship" and Erling Matz & the Vasa Museum's "Vasa 1628". I am looking for more details and photos of the actual ship instead of more about the history and recovery of the ship. Is the "Vasa 1" book going to provide that or is the 2nd book the one that I'll want? Thanks for any help.

You can go to this forum and ask directly Dr. Fred Hocker, Director of Research at Vasa Museum. No one better than him to answer your question, since he is directly involved in the making of these books. http://warshipvasa.freeforums.net/ Hope this helps.

I bought a few other book instead as it seemed very much to focus about the salvaging and recovering and personally it didnt offer many reference pictures for modeling. I think perhaps you get more reference with A Swedish Warship than this. It depends of what you look for of course. The book is very thorough and well made though so it definately is a great buy if youre interested in the salvaging. A Swedish Warship has been a really great friend during my build. Vasa 2 should be great to get a nice rigging. /Matti Edited January 6, 2014 by NAZGÛL Salty Sea Dog 1 Quote Billing Boats Vasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAZGÛL Posted January 7, 2014 Share #7 Posted January 7, 2014 Fred Hocker just gave this update about Vasa II: http://warshipvasa.freeforums.net/thread/57/vasa-ii Seems like they have found new information about how she was rigged and that the available reference and plans are wrong in some details. I will buy this book as soon as it is published. /Matti Salty Sea Dog and Ulises Victoria 2 Quote Billing Boats Vasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted February 26, 2021 Share #11 Posted February 26, 2021 Last information Fred gave dates back a full 12 months. He was negotiating with a publisher. Planning was that Wasa II should become a Wasa II-a, to be published last autumn, and a Wasa II-b, published later. Fred never replied to enquiries made in september last year....
