Vasa museet

When in Stockholm earlier this year I visited the Vasa museum. Didn't exactly know what to expect except for some sunken boat that got salvaged. Turns out it was a complete medieval warship that was for 99% intact! Really cool museum. If you are in Stockholm go there (if you surf or drink coffee go here as well).

The Vasa


One of the original ornaments from the ship. The 'brackish' water conserved the vessel brilliantly.

Don't go on a boat that is built wrong or you might end up like this member of the Vasa crew

Random mural in the museum. Darn mermaids.

Salvage crew (picture of picture in museum). I love this photo. Just look at that bunch.
