The Vasa sank right after she set out to sail in 1628, was salvaged in the 1960s and is now the only 17th century ship to be seen in the world.
Now, you just step into a warm museum, purposely built for it, to see the ship. While it seems dark brown, it actually was painted with bright colours after it was built. It is richly decorated with statues depicting gods, figures from Greek mythology, the Bible, and other sources. Walking around the ship (you are not allowed in), soaking in the history of it, and especially the enormous efforts to salvage the ship, makes you quiet in admiration for what man can achieve. The museum is extremely well done, and it is easy to spend hours studying the finds, models, explanations, and the ship itself of course, which can be seen from different levels.
