Gribshunden
''Gribshunden'' or ''Griffen'' (English: "Griffin-Hound" or "Griffin"), also known by several variant names including ''Gribshund'', ''Gripshunden'', ''Gripshund'', ''Griff'', and ''Griffone'', was a Danish warship, the flagship of John, King of Denmark (r. 1481–1513).〔 ''Gribshunden'' sank in 1495 after catching fire while in the Baltic Sea off the coast of Ronneby in southeastern Sweden; she is one of the best-preserved wrecks from the early modern period.〔〔
==History==
The first known mention of the ship is in a letter, dated May 16, 1486, in which John, King of Denmark, wrote "in navi nostra ''Griffone''", Latin for "in our ship ''Griffon''".〔 ''Gribshunden'' and its variant names were then subsequently recorded in the Danish fleet's ship lists from 1487 to 1495.〔
In summer 1495, John set sail for Kalmar, Sweden, to enter into negotiations with Sten Sture the Elder, the Swedish leader who was threatening to break the Swedes away from the Kalmar Union.〔〔 As the premier ship of the Danish fleet, ''Gribshunden'' was a symbol of military power intended to help deter the Swedes from independence.〔〔
However, on the way to Kalmar, while anchored in the Baltic Sea at the natural harbor near the port of Ronneby, Sweden, ''Gribshunden'' caught fire. This event was recorded in the contemporaneous Swedish ''Sturekronikan'' (''Sture Chronicle'') and in two German sources, Reimar Koch's ''Lübeck Chronicle'' and Caspar Weinreich's ''Danzig Chronicle''.〔〔〔 John himself was not aboard at the time, but, as reported by expedition member Tyge Krabbe, many of the 150 crewmen who were on the ship died as it sank.〔〔〔 With ''Gribshunden'' lost, John was forced to cancel the expedition to Kalmar, leaving the status of the Kalmar Union in limbo for the next two years until the 1497 Battle of Rotebro, wherein the Union was reaffirmed by John's victory and Sten's defeat.〔〔
