Product Info
In 1625, while Sweden was busy building an empire around the Baltic Sea, the Swedish King Gustavus Adolphus ordered new warships. Among them was the Wasa. On its maiden voyage in 1628, the Wasa set sail and fired a salute.
But only after a few minutes of sailing the ship began to heel over. She righted herself slightly - and heeled over again and, to everyone's horror and disbelief, the glorious and mighty warship suddenly sank.
The WASA was raised in 1961 almost intact and now sits in the WASA museum in the Royal National Park in Stockholm, Sweden.
