Excellent choice! I think that "Vasa" and "Mary Rose" should be in
there, too.

Vasa? I thought that old Gus won a battle or two before he wandered
out into the fog. Or were you referring to a different Vasa?

The ship, not the king. The king done _good_, the ship turned turtle

was not a well-developed science, and things like "metacenter" and
"center of buoyancy" were poorly understood.
