Vasa Museum, Sweden
The Vasa Museum (Swedish: Vasamuseet) is a maritime museum in Stockholm, Sweden.The Vasa ship capsized and sank in Stockholm 1628. After 333 years on the sea bed the mighty warship was salvaged and the voyage could continue. Today Vasa is the world's only preserved 17th century ship and the most visited museum in Scandinavia.
Interior:
The main hall contains the ship itself, and various exhibits related to the archaeological findings of the ships and early 16th-century Sweden. Vasa has been fitted with the lower sections of all three masts, a new bowsprit, winter rigging, and has had certain parts that were missing or heavily damaged replaced. The replacement parts have not been treated or painted and are therefore clearly visible against the original material that has been darkened after three centuries under water.
