We visited the Vasa Museum which is home to the ill fated Vasa warship. This remarkable vessel sank on its maiden voyage in 1628 and was later salvaged in 1961. It was dredged up from the bottom of the sea and carefully put back together like a puzzle. More than 98 percent of the ship is original, and it is decorated with hundreds of carved sculptures.
