Vasa Warship
Vasa is a warship built in the 1620s. It was one of the largest wooden ships built in known history. The ship was built in Sweden with heavy armor and cannons. But it sank on its early maiden voyage even before sailing 2km.
Today the ship is a popular tourist attraction in Sweden. It was discovered in 1950s just outside the Stockholm shipping harbor. It was initially housed in a temporary museum called Wasavarvet. Now the Vasa Museum in Stockholm is built to store this ship.
The ship had technical problems for stability in port. But still the king Gustavus Adolphus at that time ordered it to set sail to join the Baltic fleet for the war.
The ship gave to archeologists the information about the naval warfare, ship building activities and life style of the 17th century Sweden. It was built at a time when Sweden was rising as an international power.
