Both were lost the same way. Top heavy, lower gun ports open and heeled by the wind so that those gun ports on the leeward side were underwater. Bloop!
For those who have the opportunity to travel to Stockholm, a visit to the museum where the Vasa is on display is fascinating.
In 1961, the ship was dug out of the bottom of the harbor which, owing to the high percentage of fresh water in the harbor was what kept 95% of the wood preserved.
As I walked around this ship, it looked to be the model for a classic 16th century warship or pirate vessel. Very cool.
