The Vasa Ship in Stockholm, Sweden #180978051
Description
Vasa or Wasa is a Swedish warship built between 1626 and 1628. The ship foundered after sailing about 1,300 m 1,400 yd into her maiden voyage on 10 August 1628. She fell into obscurity after most of her valuable bronze cannon were salvaged in the 17th century until she was located again in the late 1950s in a busy shipping lane just outside Stockholmharbor. The ship was salvaged with a largely intact hull in 1961. She was housed in a temporary museum called Wasavarvet.
