Vasa ship sank during its maiden voyage on 10 August 1628. Why? Select one or more: O a. The ship capsized due to a wind gust. b. Too much of the ship's weight was in the upper part of the hull, causing instability. c. An excess weight of ballast (large rocks placed at the bottom of the ship) caused the ship to sink. Od. The ship had more than a normal amount of gunports. Water flowed in through the gunports, sinking the ship.
