The Wasa Museum
When the Royal flagship, Wasa was built in 1628 she was the pride of Sweden. But it was a glory that turned out to be short-lived as she sank on her maiden voyage. It was to be 333 years before she was brought to the surface once more and she is now the only fully preserved vessel dating from the 17th century in the world. Located in a purpose built museum, the ship and many items found onboard her are on permanent display. The museum is widely acclaimed for its exhibitions and the comprehensive information provided there. There are guided tours on the hour in various languages and a 30 minute long film that describes the ship's history and her salvage.
