Reply to comment by War_Hymn in Archaeologists have found the 17th-century warship Applet: Maritime experts believe wreck is sister-ship of Vasa, which sank off Stockholm in 1629 by MeatballDom

That's right. The unusual thing about the Vasa is you could walk the whole length of the gun deck upright. Previous designs you would need to bend over to walk past the crossbeams. It is this extra height that is blamed for the ship rolling over and consequently sinking
