Another bloody ship

This time it is the Swedish ship Mars.

It was sunk in battle in 1564 and so it is a bit younger than a
medieval ship. It would be nice if they could salvage it.

The Mars was the flagship of the navy and probably one of the larger
ships of the time. It was pushing 2000 tons, and had a complement of
about a 1000 men. It had a huge number of guns, some say 173, but many
of them were fairly small. Of big guns it had 2 of 48 pounds, 4 of 36
and 8 of 24.
