Vasa or Wasa (Swedish pronunciation: [ˇvɑːsa] (
listen)) is a Swedish warship built between 1626 and 1628. The ship sank after sailing about only 1,300 m in her maiden voyage on 10 August 1628. She was located again in the late 1950s in a busy shipping lane just outside Stockholm harbor. The ship was recovered with a largely intact hull in 1961. She was housed in a temporary museum called Wasavarvet ("The Vasa Shipyard") until 1988 and then moved permanently to the Vasa Museum in Djurgarden (Royal national Park) in Stockholm. The ship is one of Sweden's most popular tourist attractions and has been seen by over 35 million visitors since 1961. Since her recovery, Vasa has become a widely recognised symbol of the Swedish "great power period". [+info] (From Wikipedia)
