Zettersten Axel. Svenska flottans historia: åren 1635-1680

Sveden, Norrtelje tidnings boktr., 1903. - 636 p.A fundamental study on the history of the Swedish navy (from 1635 to 1680), which has already become a classic. This work was written by the Swedish historian and naval official Axel Zettersten (1839-1909). The book provides an excellent and detailed account of the command and organizational structure of the Swedish fleet (during the period described), reveals its ship composition, military shipbuilding system, personnel policy and, most importantly, outlines the course of the main military operations of the Swedish fleet in the Baltic during the period of military conflicts with Denmark (in 1643-1645 and in 1674-1679). In the extensive appendices of the book, brief biographical information on the flagships and individual captains of the Swedish fleet of that era is of particular interest..
