Glory Tuesday

While visiting the city of Stockholm Sweden you will want to head over to see the ship of King Gustav II Adolf from the Vasa Dynasty. They named the ship after the family name and it is a major heirloom to the city today. When Gustav inherited the throne there were three wars going on one with Russia, Denmark and Poland. This king needed the baddest warship he could build. And so came the Vasa.

After two years of hard work the ship left the dock for her maiden voyage in August of 1628 but ended up sinking in the middle of the harbor only meters away from the dock. There were some things salvaged from the bottom of the harbor over the next few years but mostly it just sat on the floor until the mid 1900s.

By 1990 the ship had been removed from the bottom of the sea along with many of its contents and had been restored. It has become Vasa Museum that takes visitors back hundreds of years in culture and maritime design. So while you are staying at one of the Stockholm hotels you really should go see some wonderful, well restored, displays of Swedish history.
