Vasa museum

Sorry I haven’t done a post in a while. The reason I haven’t done a post is because I’ve done a lot of traveling. I’m now in Stockholm in Sweden.

So now let’s get on with the post…

Today I went to the Vasa museum. The Vasa is an almost 400 year old ship that sank in the 17th century. It is famous because it was brought up to the surface in one piece 333 years later. It is in almost the same condition now as back then. It’s first voyage only lasted 20 minutes before it sank.

Today the boat looks like wood but originally it was colourful. They ground up plants and minerals to make paint to decorate the boat.

  1. Daniel what an amazing blog. I have never heard the of Vasa but I know lots about it now. What a sight it must have been sailing on the sea but only for 20 minutes. All the hard work everyone must have put into it when designing, building and painting the ship. You are a very lucky boy to see all these places and your blog is a great way to share your experiences and memories with everyone. Love Grannyb. Xx
