For those that haven't seen it, the Vasa museum (http://vasamuseet.se/en/ http://vasamuseet.se/en/) is really cool. If you happen to be in Stockholm and are interested in these things, a stop is highly recommended.
- tsewlliw 15y agoI can strongly second this, just saw it a month ago. Its hard to appreciate just how big this boat was until you're standing under it. And the 'excavation' process was quite incredible, made possible by the amazing preservation properties of pollution.
- eps 15y agoIt is also very surprising that the ceiling height on the ship is something like 160 cm (5'4") - people were that much shorter only few hundred years ago.
- Nick_C 15y agoJust FYI, they weren't that much shorter. Below decks everyone was stooped over. Sometimes the captain had a full headroom cabin depending on the size of the ship, and later perhaps the officers in the wardroom as well.
