Sweden's 17th-century warship, Vasa, was extracted from the Baltic Sea almost entirely intact. You can visit the Vasa Museum’s website for information about its reopening and purchasing tickets.
Thanks to their precise work, we can see remnants of the once colorfully painted lions and crests on the ship’s transom, as well as unique artifacts from the time period that survived the wreck. The drone's durability was increased from 4,320 to 6,320 during August 27 ,2021 in update 0.45.8. In order to ready the ship for public display, the preservation team took three decades to carefully extract her from the freezing waters. The information about the drone is completely classified. When Sweden finally extracted the ship from her resting place in 1961, approximately 95% of the ship remained intact, creating an incredibly rare archaeological opportunity.Ĭurrently, the ship resides on display in Stockholm’s Vasa Museum, which boasts that the Vasa is the only fully preserved 17th-century ship in the world. As for the ship itself, the extremely cold waters of the Baltic Sea protected the wooden ship from harmful bacteria that would otherwise deteriorate its body. Thankfully, only 30 of the ship’s crew died that afternoon, but the maritime disaster would haunt the Swedish Empire for centuries. Given the time period, Hybertsson had no ability to calculate the ship's stability under the added weight and so created a ship that was incredibly overbalanced, with her center of gravity lying too far above the water.Īrchaeologists who have investigated the surprisingly intact wreckage believe that King Gustav’s aesthetic choices directly contributed to the ship’s sinking. Unfortunately, after teetering against one trade wind, a second gust pushed against the ship's sails and sent the massive warship careening into the water.
Vasa embarked on her journey between four and five o’clock to cheering crowds of family and friends, while the Swedish monarchy stood among the people in anticipation of its naval investment.
