Built in the early 17th century by order of the king Gustav II Adolf, the Vasa Ship was to become the pride and joy of the Swedish navy. Sweden was a rising super-power in Europe and the grand ship would have been a great addition to the already powerful military. Unfortunately, it was not to be, as it sank just minutes after it left the harbor for its maiden voyage on August 10, 1628. Although it took 333 years to salvage the ship, it was in remarkably good condition and most of what you see today on the ship is original.
