Lesson 27-3The'Vasa'
As the windfreshened there came a sudden squall and the ship made a strange movement,listing to port. The Ordnance officer ordered all the port cannon to be heavedto starboard to counteract the list, but the steepening angle of the decksincreased. Then the sound of rumbling thunder reached the watchers on theshore, as cargo, ballast, ammunition and 400 people went sliding and crashingdown to the port side of the steeply listing ship. The lower gun-ports were nowbelow water and the inrush sealed the ship's fate. In that first glorious hour,the mighty Vasa, which was intended to rule the Baltic, sank with all flagsflying-in the harbour of her birth.
