It's in swedish and is about how they will reinforce Vasa to make her hold together "forever". Nice footage from within Vasa and of how they construct the new replica that will be used to learn how strong the construction is and how to make the best reinforcement and to learn if it will survive cannon balls.

Fred, Im with the timbermen, the oak will stand the cannon balls.
