The warship that sank on its maiden voyage, raised almost whole
A guide leads you through the museum's galleries around the Vasa, a royal warship that capsized in Stockholm harbour in 1628, less than a nautical mile into her first voyage, and was raised nearly intact in 1961.
You hear how she was built and salvaged, and why, with over 95% original timber, she is the best-preserved seventeenth-century ship in the world. Skip-the-line entry, then free time to explore.
