Vasa - 17th century ship

Built for use in war with Poland, the Vasa was top-heavy, and with gun-holes too low, and sank as it left the harbor

Museum was very dark - these may be impossible to see

The carvings were originally painted - they could tell the color on these

Copy of a carving - this is a Pole drunk under the table

this is a guess at what the stern looked like when painted

built to house the Vasa; the masts show the heights of the originals
