I did not know that. Thanks!

The Council sent a letter to the king the day after the loss, telling him of the sinking, but it took over two weeks to reach him in Poland. "Imprudence and negligence" must have been the cause, he wrote angrily in his reply, demanding in no uncertain terms that the guilty parties be punished.[27] Captain Söfring Hansson, who survived the disaster, was immediately taken for questioning. Under initial interrogation, he swore that the guns had been properly secured and that the crew was sober.

It's a good story. :-D

one theory is that the guns on the ship where too heavy and that it took in water through the gunports.

You absolutely do. Not necessarily before Grimrock II, I dont' think, but everyone should play Grimrock. It's like finding a classic dungeon crawler you've never played before.
