Vasa II by Fred Hocker
Vasa II Part 1 presents more than a thousand finds of wood, metal, and cloth from the most complete rig to survive from before 1800. The unique finds form the basis for a complete reconstruction of the rig of a large warship of the 1620s and paint a vivid picture of ship-handling in the Age of Sail.
Fred Hocker is the Director of Research at the Vasa Museum, responsible for historical and archaeological research concerning Vasa, the ship, and its contents. He is formerly the Yamini Associate Professor of Nautical Archaeology at Texas A & M University and worked as a wooden shipwright and shipkeeper at Mystic Seaport Museum before entering the academic world. He is also an active crew volunteer on Kalmar Nyckel, a sailing recreation of a full-rigged ship of the 1620s–1640s.
