    I could have listened to this fascinating narration for much longer. I was deflated when it ended so quickly. Excellent topic and information. Bravo!

    Love the detail of the face spitting out rope @4:25 It's fascinating to have such contrasts of planning, order and artistry against the barbaric trade practices that they rendered.

    They also used these larger models back in the day to train the sailors on the rigging of the ship.

    Have you guys visited the Historiska Museet in Stockholm? They have many, many interesting objects there.

    Yes but no one would be able to learn or appreciate history. Espescially beceause its an exact ship model for the real life thing BACK THEN wich is verry impressive. So i would pay even more to keep things like these out of private collectors hands. And would want it to be put in a museum
