    Vasa is a Swedish warship whose instability caused her to sink on her maiden voyage, in 1628 in Stockholm harbour. She was very well preserved as there is no shipworm in the fresh water of the Baltic Sea. Vasa was salvaged largely intact in 1961, and is now displayed in Stockholm. Here are 31 photos:

    We visited it in the early 2000s when we went to a special event at the Swedish National Railway Museum.

    As the photos show, "Vasa" is absolutely fascinating and well recommended. Unfortunately the "Mary Rose" rather pales in comparison:(.
