Where was the longboat kept during the voyage?

We believe that Vasa's longboat was towed with a rope, and pulled after Vasa.

There are two ways to transport a longboat in the 17th century, and there are pros and cons with both of them:

  1. Towing the longboat
  2. Having the longboat on board on the upper deck.
