Vasa Warship, Stockholm Sweden

[shadowsports]

The Vasa is a warship commissioned in 1628.  It sank on its maiden voyage after traveling just 1300 meters.  These were shot with my RF 15-35 f2.8

Rick,

In your 4th picture, you have included a solitary figure in white to demonstrate scale.

My goodness, those ships are massive.

Steve,

It was a wonderful trip and what a beautiful ship.  The level of detail and workmanship was unbelievable.  Beautiful hand carved features everywhere.  The ship was ordered built by the King Of Sweden during the time Sweden was at war with Poland.  The museum has 3 levels for viewing and some smaller rooms that recreate actual rooms below deck.  The canons had beautiful engraving too.  Its nearly 300ft long and 175ft tall.  Over 45 million people have visited the Vasa.
