Vasa (or Wasa) is a Swedish warship built between 1626 and 1628. The ship foundered and sank after sailing about 1,300 m (1,400 yd) into her maiden voyage on 10 August 1628. She fell into obscurity after most of her valuable bronze cannons were salvaged in the 17th century until she was located again in the late 1950s in a busy shipping lane just outside the Stockholm harbor. Salvaged with a largely intact hull in 1961, she was housed in a temporary museum called Wasavarvet ("The Wasa Shipyard") until 1988 and then moved to the Vasa Museum in Stockholm. The ship is one of Sweden's most popular tourist attractions and has been seen by over 29 million visitors since 1961. Since her recovery, Vasa has become a widely recognized symbol of the Swedish "great power period" and is today a de facto standard in the media and among Swedes for evaluating the historical importance of shipwrecks.
Vasa may refer to:
A dramadocumentary from the early 17th century Stockholm, where the royal ship Wasa was built. Real actors and computeranimated images give a good picture how life was in Stockholm by 1628 and to her maiden voyage when she sunk.. Mostly in swedish of course, but the movie is quite interesting anyhow for anyone who is interested in swedish history. This is part 1 of 2.
På 1600-talet var Stockholm en liten stad och en ganska farlig, trång och smutsig plats. Staden, som till stor del bestod av det vi idag kallar Gamla stan, levde på
Den 10 augusti 1628 var en stor dag för befolkningen i Stockholm. Den dagen skulle det nybyggda och praktfulla örlogsfartyget Vasa påbörja sin jungfrufärd mot Polen där Gustav II Adolf och den svenska armén befann sig. Tusentals åskådare hade samlats längs med kajer och stränder för att bevittna det kungliga skrytbygget. Men bara efter en dryg kilometers seglats hände något med det mäktiga krigsskeppet som kantrade och försvann ner i djupet.
Regalskeppet Vasa tittar upp ur stömmens vatten och ska bärgas. Till hjälp har man pumpar.

Le Vasa est un navire de guerre construit pour le roi Gustave II Adolphe de Suède, de la dynastie Vasa, entre 1626 et 1628. Le navire sombra après une navigation d'à peine un mille marin lors de son voyage inaugural, le 10 août 1628. The Vasa Museum The Vasa is the only preserved seventeenth-century ship in the world, and a unique art treasure. More than 95 percent of the ship is original, and it is decorated with hundreds of carved sculptures. The 69 meter-long warship Vasa sank on its maiden voyage in the middle of Stockholm in 1628, and was salvaged 333 years later in 1961. For nearly half a century the ship has been slowly, deliberately and painstakingly restored to a state approaching its original glory. The three masts on the roof outside the specially built museum show the height o...

A highlight for Stockholm visitors is a visit to the Vasa Museum. On the evening of the first conference day in Stockholm, our hosts did not want to miss the chance to show us this impressive ship. Afterward, they had planned a visit to the ABBA Museum, which is just 500 m away. We take the tram S7 (direction Waldemarsudde) to the Nordiska Museet (Nordic Museum) on the island of Djurgarden. The huge renaissance building houses objects of the history of civilization and from ethnic groups in the north. But, we pass the building and walk straight to the Vasa Museum lying behind it. The modern building opened in 1990. The 34 m high hall houses the entire Vasa. On several levels, you can get good insights into almost every detail of the ship. Different objects from those time and pictures of t...

Djurgården is Stockholm's lush island fun center and has several of the city's top museums, including the Vasa Museum. This is where the Vasa is housed, a 1628 war ship that sank to the bottom of the harbor just minutes into its maiden voyage. Rescued after 300 years under the sea, it's now the best-preserved ship of its kind.

The pride of the Swedish crown, the massive warship Vasa only sailed for less than 2 kilometres before sinking in Stockholm harbour in 1628. Raised from the seabed in the 1960's it now sits in a museum and offers a fantastic insight into life in those days. We spent a good three hours in there and loved it.
