JanV Posted February 17, 2013 #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 aaronc and Archi 2 Quote Jan V. current build: Vasa-1628 Corel / Battle Station Mantua/Panart, previous: Statenjacht / Cross section HMS Victory / diorama shipyard

Salty Sea Dog Posted January 5, 2014 #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.

Is the "Vasa 1" book going to provide that or is the 2nd book the one that I'll want? Thanks for any help. 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

NAZGÛL Posted January 7, 2014 #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

amateur Posted February 26, 2021 #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....

davec Posted Friday at 11:49 AM #22 Posted Friday at 11:49 AM It looks like it is the first of two parts. The full title includes "Part 1: the material remains and archeological context." According to the book's foreword, a second volume on the contextual analysis is planned.

uss frolick Posted Friday at 05:38 PM #23 Posted Friday at 05:38 PM The original plan was for Volume 2 to be about the spars, sails and rigging; Volume 3 was to be about the hull machinery and official naval items found aboard (joinery, capstan, gun carriages, etc.); and volume 4 was to be about the personal, private belongings of the crew. So perhaps they needed a whole second volume to complete the rigging, hence a Volume 2b. Quote
