Swedish warship Mars

Index Swedish warship Mars

Mars, also known as Makalös ("peerless; astounding") was a Swedish warship that was built between 1563 and 1564. It was the leading ship of king Eric XIV of Sweden's fleet, and at 48 meters and, equipped with 107 guns, was one of the largest warships of the time, even larger than the famous Swedish ship Vasa. In 1564, during the Northern Seven Years' War, the ship caught fire and exploded during the first battle of Öland in the Baltic Sea. Mars has a place in the history of naval warfare for being the first ship to sink another ship with gunfire. [1]
