My #MidweekMuseum today is the #Vasa #Museum in #Stockholm, #Sweden. Vasa was a 17th century #warship, intended to be the flagship of a squadron based in the Swedish Archipelago, but she was over-designed to be dangerously top-heavy by the king, Gustavus Adolphus, sailed out before a watching crowd, caught a small breeze, flooded through the open gun ports, and sank into mud that preserved her this well.

Vasa museum in Stockholm. Een goed verhaal over een onfortuinlijke vaart… #VasaMuseet #vasamuseum

Gestern einen auf #Kultur gemacht und im #Vasamuseum gewesen. Die wohl erfolgloseste Jungfernfahrt aller Zeiten endete nach ca 1300 Metern. Das Schiff kenterte, und 30-50 Menschen starben.
