Vasa, named after one of Sweden’s kings, was a 69-metre vessel equipped with 64 cannons
Named after the Royal house, not a King. The difference between calling a boat “Windsor” or “Brenda”.

I note it that it sank on it’s maiden voyage; at least the Mary Rose went down fighting.
“We don’t have salt water and some organisms that live in other waters don’t exist in the Baltic, so it is very well preserved generally in our waters,”
We don’t have salt water in the Baltic? – something lost in translation or transcription there i think.
“The open surface waters of the Baltic Sea “proper” generally have a salinity of 0.3 to 0.9%, which is border-line freshwater.”
from wiki— ok, sorry subs.
The plural of cannon is . . . cannon.
Just sayin’.
There are so many pendant here.
Isn’t Vasa a brand of crispbread?
the plural of pendant is pendantii
No, Hallowed be. That’s the species.
The Meissen Bison, it is indeed. Or is it Wasa? When I was doing my national service we used to toast crisp bread on a woodburner inside a tent, butter on top. I buy the round stuff, and sometimes the thin Finn rye crisps if an urgent bowel movement is needed promptly the following morning. Annoying I have to drive to the closest IKEA in order to get Kalle’s Kaviar. And I despise the Swedes!
Jussi – it’s wasa iirc

Baltic on Sweden’s East coast has lower salt level than 0.7% Saline solution
Further north, lower the salt. Also, Tide is inches not feet

@Jussi
Snap. I usually buy 4-6 tubes – cheaper than in Sweden too. Thank God IKEA revered their short-lived own brand only Krapiar
What I find strange is Kavli (Primula) not selling their Kaviar in UK.
@Fred
Vasa/Wasa – doesn’t matter, them furiners pronounce W as V – Volks Vaggen
W as V and V as F: Folks Vaggen
You say Folks Vaggen and I say Volks Faggen.
