Modern European science at work with lots of university participation. The universities we usually ridicule here.

... even a royal astronomer. The astronomer was there to provide navigation help.
Latitude was well understood, but until highly accurate clocks came on the scene that could handle these sea voyages, longitude was very tough.
The best method in the 1500's was to watch the stars and compare their place in the sky with a known object.

Hans was on a mission to quell the dissent and revive the union by becoming king of Sweden, too.... But many of them never arrived: Hans’ flagship sank while anchored just north of Stora Ekon. A 16th-century account of Hans’ life, only recently translated from Latin, suggests the ship’s store of gunpowder accidentally ignited, causing a fire that consumed the ship so quickly that many on board perished in the smoke and flames. Others threw themselves into the water and drowned. Look Ma, no Hans!........................
