I thought that we could have thread about things that have happen throughout the history. large and well know just as well as small and
fairly less known things that have happened. The important part is of course the date. Today is August 10th so only events from August 10th today.

I'll go first with an example:


Sunday August 10th 1628.

I'ts around midday the churches' Sunday service have just ended.
The people of Stockholm are starting to gather along the shore lines, its time for the Kings new ship the majestic Vasato sail out
on her maiden voyage. The ship sets sails but just a few minutes later when the ship was along Beckholmen a strong side wind swept
over Saltsjön and the mighty ship turned over and water starting to flow into the ship through the open gun-ports.

The ship sank and came to a rest at the bottom where it laid for 333 years until it was salvaged in 1961.
about 95% of the ship is original the final 5% have been destroyed over the years under water and have been replaced.

The ship know rests in a dry dock in her own museum at Galärvarvet at Djugården.

This means that today is the ships "birthday" and she turns 385 years old.
Younger but much more well preserved then the English Mary Rose.
