The Sinking of the Vasa: A Shipwreck of Titanic Proportions

40 pp. | Holt/Godwin | August, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-1-62779-866-2 $18.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by William Low. Freedman (posthumously) tells the story of the seventeenth-century Swedish warship Vasa, from its tragic sinking on its maiden voyage to its eventual recovery and restoration as a museum piece. Freedman's clear prose conveys facts and paints a picture with equal skill. The winning combination of engrossing narrative with Low's atmospheric, evocative illustrations should appeal to fans of shipwreck stories, history, and undersea archaeology. Bib.
