Vasa's hull weighed about 600 000 kg. On departure, Vasa's displacement was 1 200 000–1 250 000 kg, which includes the ballast, equipment, provisions and everything else that was on board at the time of sailing.
The ship was missing soldiers, who were supposed to have boarded at Älvsnabben. With the soldiers, the displacement would have increased by approx. 17 000 kg. About 100 ton of provisions would also be loaded there. If we count this, the total weight in battle would be closer to 1 300 000–1 350 000 kg.
