A new study by researchers at Lund University (PDF) arms researchers found on the rubble of the 15th -century Danish Royal Flagers Grabshaden During the discovery period, the naval artillery has been shed on the development of the artillery, and how armed ships were used in the war. In 20 years of excavation, a portion of 11 artillery and their oak guns found in 20 years was recovered and digitally re -formed.
Launched in 1485 as the royal flagship of Denmark and Norwegian Shah Hans, Grabshaden He was one of the first warships in Europe designed to carry the artillery. It was not only very armed, but it was also appointed with everything that the king could need to run the government, a “floating palace”, a disturbing tool of royal power with the flexibility of movement.
Grabshaden The board sank in 1495 after the explosion when it was anchored off the coast of Ronbi in southern Sweden. The king and his echo were over, with a summit in Klamer, where he was expected to score the Trickica and the Swedish crown would be included in his other two. The cause of the blast is not yet known. There is no evidence of fire on the wooden elements or its contents. It seems that the blast has fallen under the water line, which is why the ship has gone down quickly with less other damage.
The debris was discovered by the scuba divers in 1971, its structure and weapons are protected from the water of the Baltic cold ship. Archaeological investigations began in 2001, and it was identified as Grabshaden In 2002. This is the best safe ship since the discovery, and when it was a unique royal warship instead of a research vessel, its design and weapons were practically the same with Spanish and Portuguese seekers.
Such as a ship in the sea GrabshadenAlong with its artillery, after 1492, the European journey was very important. Traveling through the Cape of Good Hope in the United States and the Indian Ocean led to European colonialism worldwide. Grabshaden A rare archeology source. The most complete example of a warship built in Carroll late in the Middle Ages.
The ship had 50 or more small caliber guns that fired lead bullets from an iron cover. Their purpose was to use against nearly people, the tactic was designed to injured or kill enemy crews on another ship. After firing the artillery, a storm broke out to capture the enemy’s ship. Under the leadership of Professor Nicolo Delunto from Lund University, the team has managed to recover the artillery by creating a 3D model of sample.
