When you are in Stockholm, go visit the Vasamuseet!
I‘m not terribly keen on museums, but I visit it every single time.
The sheer amount of art on the ship is breathtaking.
And the story of the ship is more fascinating than the short excerpt here shows.
Visited it two years ago. It is humbling to see a ship that size and beauty, although partially restored, it speaks of its time.
For some reason I never made the correlation between overengineering and the Vasa. I probably classified it subconsciously as a front-end issue.
