The first thing everyone tells me to visit in #Stockholm is the #VasaMuseum, devoted to a 17th-century ship that sank in the harbor on its maiden voyage. It did not disappoint!

Almost everyone tells me to visit teh Vasa Museum, and so I make it the focus of my first full day in Stockholm.

Original Description:
During the 1961 recovery, thousands of artifacts and the remains of at least 15 people were found in and around the Vasa's hull by marine archeologists. Among the many items found were clothing, weapons, cannons, tools, coins, cutlery, food, drink and six of the ten sails. The artifacts and the ship herself have provided scholars with invaluable insights into details of naval warfare, shipbuilding techniques and everyday life in early 17th-century Sweden.
