The Vasa Museum was one of the most exceptional sites we visited. The Vasa warship sank on her maiden voyage in 1628 due to a design that was too tall and narrow. It sat at the bottom of the Stockholm harbor for over 300 years, preserved in mud. In 1961, this 62m-long ship was raised and is now housed in its own museum.  Pictured here is a replica of the ship, at the museum. Photographing the ship itself was too daunting a task!
