This Sunday I visited the Vasa Museum, Stockholm.
According to the museum official website:
The Vasa is the world’s only surviving 17th-century ship.
According to Vasa ship’s Wikipedia entry:
Vasa (or Wasa) is a warship that was built for Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden from 1626 to 1628. The ship foundered and sank after sailing less than a nautical mile (2 km) into her maiden voyage on August 10, 1628. The ship is one of Sweden’s most popular tourist attractions and, as of 2007, has attracted more than 25 million visitors.
