What was the vasa?
The Vasa is a 17th century Swedish warship. She set sail on her maiden voyage on August 10, 1628. Just after her sails caught their first breeze, she tipped over, capsized and sunk in Stockholm harbor as all the spectators watched in horror. Later investigation determined the Vasa was top heavy. The vessel had been built with a second gun deck, complete with large cannons, an unusual and untried design for the times. The builders had failed to add sufficient ballast rock to her keel to compensate for the added weight. With her gun ports open, she quickly filled with water and sunk when the first winds caught her sails and caused the ship to list to one side. The Vasa sat at the bottom of Stockholm harbor for 333 years. In 1961, she was rediscovered, raised and floated on her own keel to what is now a beautiful museum in Stockholm built specifically for the Vasa. The ship is 95% original and contains the oldest known sails still in existence in the world. There is a web site on the Vasa at http://www.vasamuseet.se
