Matusalem Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 For ten friggin' dollars!!!

Great details, including mechanical drawings, illustrations, and of course, some great detailed photos form the salvaged Swedish 17th century ship Vasa, which I swear the Dsiney people referenced for the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman. I posted some links to the Vasa on another post (Black Pearl) in the Pyracy Pop forum, this is one of the links:Vasa Here's the Book:
