COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A U.S. military laboratory has helped Swedes confirm what was suspected for years: A woman was among those who died on a 17th-century warship that sank on its maiden voyage, the museum that displays the ship said Tuesday.
For years, there were indications that one of the victims, known as G, was a woman, because of the appearance of the hip bone, Fred Hocker, research leader at the Vasa Museum, said in a statement. It is ... likely that she was a seaman's wife who wanted to come along on the maiden journey of this new, impressive ship.She said the exact number of people on board that day was not known "but we think there were around 150 people. An additional 300 soldiers were supposed to board further out in the archipelago," she said.
