I found this online and cannot wait any longer to share it with you, folks!
Vasa 1628 – engineering a ship

Yes, this video series is spectacular. Mr. Hocker’s knowledge of the ship is expansive and very digestibly presented.
Thank You Jimsky!

It has now become clear who Fred was privately corresponding with tonight and about what
. It is very telling that you have chosen to put a series of these videos just in my thread and not in any other. I find this idea a very good one, as these truly spectacular films will deservedly become even more popular, as will the magical ship Vasa 1628 itself. However, precisely because of this spectacular form, it makes it virtually impossible to continue discussion in normal written form..

I am glad that people enjoy these videos, they were great fun to make!

We modelers all owe you a huge debt of gratitude, Fred. First hand knowledge of the details of any ship of that period is rare to nonexistent.

While we're on the subject of formal and technical issues, such as the insertion and display of graphics or video in forum threads, may I ask the administrators why the internet search engine is not finding graphics from my thread "The Dutch 72-gun ship ca. 1690 – the apogee of Dutch ship design of the Classical Age"? The other threads, at least so far, seem to be behaving normally.

Hi Waldemar,
Here is the link to the search results
..and direct link to your thread
The Dutch 72-gun ship ca. 1690 – the apogee of Dutch ship design of the Classical Age
. It should be clarified at once that this plan, tentatively dated by me to the end of the 17th century, is one of the last of the era before the widespread adoption of design diagonals, which in the Netherlands occurred in the third decade of the 18th century at the latest (see as to this Ab...

Thank you very much, Jimsky, however I meant a search for graphics, as opposed to a search in general. For comparison, I've included below today's screenshots of the search results for all my threads posted on the SoS forum.
In each case I typed in the exact title of the thread, and in each case the internet search engine was able to find some graphics related to these threads as well. In each case, except for just one instance, i.e. the thread The Dutch 72-gun ship ca. 1690 – the apogee of Dutch ship design of the Classical Age. Here the search engine has not been able to find a single graphic, and for a quite long time.
What is going on? Is there any reasonable explanation for this?
1. The Dutch 72-gun ship ca. 1690 – the apogee of Dutch ship design of the Classical Age
2. Samuel 1650 – a Dutch mid-17th century trader
3. Naseby 1655 - reverse engineering the ship model
4. The Dutch capital ship ca. 1665 – engineering of war
5. English ship design ca. 1600 – Mediterranean legacy
6. Pinas 1671 by Nicolaes Witsen – the backbone of the fleets
7. Danish defensionsskib 1630 – Dutch invention / English draught / Dutch implementation (bottom-first)
8. The fluyt by Åke Rålamb 1691 – Dutch bottom-first graphically
9. The boyer by Åke Rålamb 1691 – shaping Dutch hulls using graphic methods
10. French heavy frigate of 1686 - designing a ship in the Dutch(?) manner by graphic means
11. Venetian 1st rate ship San Carlo Borromeo 1739 – design concept
12. English 6th rate ship – reverse engineering the draught from the late 17th century
13. William Keltridge's 6th rate ship – reverse engineering the plans of 1684
14. Vasa 1628 – engineering a ship

No explanation, I guess, as I said earlier, we can not control browsers' search engines and their algorithms.
WOW WALDEMAR AGAIN WOW I MISSED MANY GOING BACK SO I CAN DOWNLOAD AND LEARN MORE, PLEASE CONTINUE WIT THIS YOUR WORK IS AMAZING I REALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH THE SAMUAEL I WISH THERE WAS A KIT OR SEMI KIT OF THE SMALLER DUTCH SHIPS I WOULD TACKEL A SCRATCH BUILD.

Ab, I see you are still looking here too. Various circumstances make your proposal for a joint article at a specialist publisher more and more attractive, and perhaps even necessary. Although I still find it difficult to imagine combining fire and water, i.e. simultaneously following and not following historian Olof Hasslöf's proposal from a few decades ago that Dutch ships were not built conceptually at all, or rather that they were only designed during the construction itself. I have simply seen and discovered too much already (only part of it presented) to become a follower of the disastrous religion created by Hasslöf again. How to reconcile these two mutually exclusive approaches?

Don't push so hard with your comments. I'm just leaving for a trip to Italy for a few days, so I won't be able to respond in any extensive way anyway.
In the meantime, Fred's spectacular video series can be viewed. If you find anything there about ship design from a conceptual perspective, please feel free to point me to a specific episode.
Bye for now!

Since the forum is public and anyone can post practically anything they fancy in this thread, I will also take advantage of this opportunity by posting here one photograph of mine just taken in Rome (sorry, no Vasa 1628 in the background).
Anyway, now I have to think about the next steps...

Wow! Beautiful!
I've always thought that it must be nice to live in a place with history. Where I live the background it always trees, mountains and water.
MY FAVORATE COUNTRY, SPENT 3 WEEKS THERE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH OF ROME A LIVING MUSEUM, JUST INCREDIBLE COUNTRY IT WAS A LONG TIME LIKE 30 YEARS. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE ALL DON
