Lesson 27-2 The'Vasa'
They had labouredfor three years to produce this floating work of art; she was more richlycarved and ornamented than any previous ship. The high stern castle was a riotof carved gods, demons, knights, kings, warriors, mermaids, cherubs; andzoomorphic animal shapes ablaze with red and gold and blue, symbols of courage,power, and cruelty, were portrayed to stir the imaginations of thesuperstitious sailors of the day.
Then the cannonsof the anchored warships thundered a salute to which the Vasa fired in reply.As she emerged from her drifting cloud of gun smoke with the water churned tofoam beneath her bow, her flags flying, pennants waving, sails filling in thebreeze, and the red and gold or her superstructure ablaze with colour, shepresented a more majestic spectacle than Stockholmers had ever seen before. Allgun-ports were open and the muzzles peeped wickedly from them.
