The Vasa and the Mary Rose (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Rose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Rose) appear to be rather similar on the face of it. They suffered similar fates - sinking unexpectedly, however the Mary Rose was over 30 years old (I had no idea until reading the WP article - I thought the MR was much younger on sinking) whereas the Vasa keeled over in a eight knot wind on her maiden voyage. Both were cutting edge and designed to do the "shock and awe" of the time.
