ReviewsIn the half-century since the events described in the book, the many photographs of operations, people and finds have acquired a strong historical value. Line drawings also have been chosen for their ability to capture ongoing thought processes rather than as static museum objects. These editorial choices confirm that this book was intended to bring early ship archaeology to life, as well as to present the rich finds fromVasa.', ...an exciting story of history and politics, contracting and deviation from contracts, construction, error, change and correction, buck-passing and escapism, accusations and lawsuits and the history of numerous recovery attempts-mostly failed.This is one heck of a book!'
