Hello, I am a Prof. from Germany. The reason for the breakdown of the structure of the Vasa may be due to the oxidation of the polyethyleneglycol, which has been used for the preservation of the wood. Polyethyleneglycol forms peroxides. This has been established by a colleague of mine (Prof. Theodor Eckert) many years ago. A solution of the problem may be the use of substances, which capture the radicals.
Borates have been added to propylene glycol and proven to be an ideal wood preservative in historic vessels. Lots of different things have been going on here, galvanic action, oxidization, hogging etc.
So why not devise a plan to neutralize the acid and determine some solution to permeate the wood to stabilize it. Build a big tank and soak it till it stable is 15 years or so.
@@340360 yes It left the harbour but stranded close after I know that doesn’t mean that it was the fault of the builder maybe the builder advised the Sweden to not build it this way but the stubborn Sweden did it anyways
Why would you want to sail it? It's not seaworthy at all, it's a 400 year old wreck! As for building a copy... who would fund such a massive project? Are you offering?
@@spideywebz5089 Would be amazing to see one of these sail. Too impractical though. Perhaps a billionaire will fund one some day. Even if you could get the funding, craftsmen don't come like they used to, or at least in the same numbers
Imagine the great forest that existed when they fell those mighty trees back then. How much you wanna bet modern man deforested it and it. It looks like a barren pasture or unused ugly parking lot.
Having seen it with my own eyes, I can tell you that they are doing no such thing. Nothing has been "modified", it still looks as it would have when it was due to set sail, only not so complete.

You should try to contact them in some other way, either calling or mailing. This is just a TH-cam channel
@@rekindleproject7160 Thank you very much. I will try to send the information via email.
oh germany... the land of many things.... hitler, genocides, merkel, emmision scandals, BDSM, drinking beer, people marring their animals...
@@nikosnikos9952 Weird comment. You are a very troubled soul
@@nikosnikos9952 germany creates many great things great machinery great cars etc.
Muchas gracias por difundir esta información. Esperamos nuevos aportes.
This was a very high quality video. We need stuff like this is North America
We are too busy making reality TV about pregnant high school students........

😂
I mean we found the Queen Anne's Revenge, aka Blackbeard's ship off the coast of North Carolina so we have some cool shit too lol
@@jakei8322 Yes, but this is old country. It's where all of you americans came from.
A very interesting document. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Super great video. How am I just learning about the Vasa today??
You are probably not swedish.
What dedication to preservation. Amazing
Vilket bra arbete ni utför! Tack för det!

Thank you Sweden :)
Når tyngdepunktet på en båt ligger himmelhøgt over oppdriftssenteret går det til slutt galt.
Some Dutch pride here!
cough cough (Sweden)....
@@Einwetok Vasa has been designed and built by Dutch shipbuilder Henrik Hybertsson
@@boektanasie you know that the ship sank before it came out of the harbour?....
@@340360 yes It left the harbour but stranded close after I know that doesn’t mean that it was the fault of the builder maybe the builder advised the Sweden to not build it this way but the stubborn Sweden did it anyways
Amazing 👍
Maybe they should place the ship inside of a vaccum chamber.
God seeing that woman drilling with her long hair down is such a bad idea!
That was a man...
Why use a guide to drill the sample hole ,now you have two screw holes in the wood
Why don't you load it up with the proper amount of ballast and sail it or build a copy.

They had sustainable methods of logging old-growth forests right up until the 1910's... Sad
(In America, I know jack-all about Europe in this context)
Thats good fix that shit !
and they will continue to modify it until it resembles nothing like the original.
Or the Museum's funders find it too expensive to continue.
@@Einwetok too expensive to leave it alone? how? Everything goes back to the earth eventually.
