Current Goal

Stockholm, Sunday August 10, 1628

During the afternoon, the Vasa ist warped along the quays of the Old Town. She makes sail in a light breeze. After a few hundred metres the Vasa heels over for a squall but rights herself again. After another squall she begins to list heavily and to take in water through the gunports. Off the island of Beckholmen the ship capsizes. About fifty people drown when the vasa sinks "sails set, flags flying and all".

It´s time now to bring me home to Sweden, from cache to cache!

About This Item

The Vasa Ship

Deutsch:

Die Vasa (oder Wasa) war eine schwedische Galeone, die zu den größten und am stärksten bewaffneten Kriegsschiffen ihrer Zeit zählte. Bereits zu Beginn ihrer Jungfernfahrt am 10. August 1628 sank die Vasa nach nur etwa 1300 Metern Fahrtstrecke bei normalem Seegang wegen schwerwiegender konstruktiver Instabilität. Nach ihrer Auffindung 1956 und Bergung 1961 wurde sie mehrfach restauriert und ist heute im Vasa-Museum in Stockholm zu besichtigen. Das Schiff trug den Namen der schwedischen Königsdynastie Wasa(schwedisch vasa). Quelle: Wikipedia

English:

Vasa (or Wasa)[2] is a Swedish warship built between 1626 and 1628. The ship founderedafter sailing about 1,300 m (1,400 yd) into her maiden voyage on 10 August 1628. She fell into obscurity after most of her valuable bronze cannons were salvaged in the 17th century until she was located again in the late 1950s in a busy shipping lane just outside the Stockholm harbor. Salvaged with a largely intact hull in 1961, she was housed in a temporary museum called Wasavarvet ("The Wasa Shipyard") until 1988 and then moved to the Vasa Museum in Stockholm.
