Well, this shows my own spotty knowledge, since I've only read two of Amundsen's own books (the Northwest Passage one, and the South Pole one)!
It's a bit like Fritz and the War of the Bavarian Succession: times move on, old man does not live up to previous standard. :P Heh, seems like it.
I have been to the Vasa museum, yes, but it was before my current fannish period, or I would no doubt have paid much more attention! Perhaps I'll visit it again some time. I did visit the Götheborg III this summer, though.
