Stockholm - The Vasa

For the last part of the Stockholm wrap-up..... We went to see the Vasa, the world's only surviving 17th century ship.

It only sailed for about a mile before tipping over in the channel in Stockholm. It was immense, and beautiful.




I could just picture the amusement our nephew August would get, (as well as my family of history-lovers.) We watched a movie about the amazing restoration that was performed in 60's.




A bit of culture to help us balance the shopping and eating.
