@Evilhamster13 They don't actually know the real cause of why the flagship sank. But open canon ports are probably not it... It's probably because the ship wasn't broad enough and didn't have enough weight in the center (cant remember what u call it) for it to be stable.

@Tyranid90 actually, the sinking was due to the open cannon ports. The ship tipped sidwaays only for a moment, and the water rushed in.

wow 20 mins after setting off it sank
-
De hade för tunga kanoner på övre
batteridäck, för lite ballast och så
var akterns överbyggnad för hög.

Sweden had the best ships back then.. they pwned in the sea so they made like a super big ship but they loaded this one with to many cannons etc so it sank
-
Nobody at the time could explain why it went down on its maiden voyage. So nobody was prosecuted for this epic fail as far as I know.

Epic ship fail

I preferred the old "Wasavarvet" before 1988.

A sharp observation, really...
How about googling some longships.
Wow, I allways suspected this. Finaly the swedish honour is restored. It was the americans to blame for this desaster

That's getting in the mood of the clip, but the Americans in question were Swedish under my interpretation.
