Redoing the blog on the Kronan

I am redoing the blog on the Kronan(see post) because of  how short it was(it was only two sentences long)and if you look at it, you will see what i mean.The construction of the Swedish first rate Kronan began in 1668 as part of a massive expansion of the Swedish fleet.When she was completed in 1672 she was one of the largest ships in the world.


 In 1676 she was the flagship of the Swedish fleet that fought the combined Danish-Dutch fleet in the battle of Öland.During the battle she was turning to engage the Danish-Dutch fleet when a gust of wind blew her over.A few minutes later her magazine exploded and she sank,taking with her almost all of her crew of 850 men.
