Man‑of‑war Kronan — A proud Swedish warship that met a tragic end
This is the story of the man‑of‑war Kronan — a proud Swedish warship that met a tragic end. In the year 1676, King Charles XI rules the realm, and he has appointed Lorentz Creutz as Admiral General. On Skeppsholmen, some of the kingdom’s largest warships were built. Here, the master shipwright Francis Sheldon oversaw the construction of Kronan — an enormous vessel for its time. She measured nearly fifty‑three meters in length, more than twelve meters in width, and carried over a hundred guns. Under Sheldon’s direction, this giant ship grew plank by plank, becoming almost twice the size of the famous warship Vasa. Some of the figures mentioned in the film: Francis Sheldon — Master Shipwright Lorentz Creutz — the ship Kronan, Admiral General Claas Uggla (Claes Uggla) — the ship Svärdet, Vice Admiral Anders Homman — the ship Svärdet, Commander Idea and AI Creator: Henrik Tingström Detta är berättelsen om regalskeppet Kronan, ett stolt svenskt örlogsskepp som mötte ett tragiskt slut. År 1676 styr Karl XI riket och han har utsett Lorentz Creutz till amiralgeneral. På Skeppsholmen byggdes några av rikets största örlogsskepp. Här ledde skeppsbyggmästaren Francis Sheldon arbetet med Kronan – ett enormt fartyg för sin tid. Hon var nästan 53 meter lång, över 12 meter bred och bar mer än hundra kanoner. Under Sheldons ledning växte detta jätteskepp fram plank för plank och blev nästan dubbelt så stor som det kända skeppet Vasa. Några av personerna som nämns i filmen: Francis Sheldon, skeppsbyggmästare Lorentz Creutz, skeppet Kronan, amiralgeneral Claas Uggla (Claes Uggla), skeppet Svärdet, amirallöjtnant Anders Homman, skeppet Svärdet, kommendör Idé and AI-kreatör: Henrik Tingström
