The Swedish Navy's Iron Age: Skeppsholmen and the Fleet That Built an Empire
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Swedish navy's rise from a medieval levy of oared ships to the formidable Skeppsholmen fleet that guarded the Baltic during the Stormaktstiden. They trace the navy's evolution under Gustav Vasa, its triumphs and disasters in the Great Northern War, and its transformation under Karl XI's indelningsverket. Along the way, they discover the hidden world of the skeppsgossar, the boy sailors who trained on Stockholm's naval island, and the surprising role of the Swedish archipelago in naval strategy. From the iconic Vasa ship to the strategic base at Karlskrona, this episode reveals how the navy shaped Sweden's imperial ambitions and fell with them.
