On board of SoL "VASA"

[Comte de Brueys]

Saturday Sept. 17th I was on board of "VASA" Swedish ship of the line and had a nice tour on a quiet sea.

Seems that the ship is sailing now under the Japanese flag.

We had a nice tour on the Ashi lake next to Hakone, Kanagawa Japan.

Beside this we met other ships of the the fleet like the "Victory" and a third one, that name I can't remeber.

Gah!
Back when the first ship was baptised "Wasa" we had the same pronunciation as German, wich would make "Vasa" into "Fasa". In English the Swedish word "Fasa" means "Horror". Very fitting for that vessel.

Now that looks like a ship that even I could take on Sven.
Who put all those giant portholes into her?
Rob.

Don't know Rob, but they took most of the guns out, too.

They are certainly very colourful.
